Born with her head
In between her
Thighs,
She never
Slept with a cross
Every night
Never prayed
To get her
out of this grime,
Her skin the color
Of the sky, But
Never Asked
God why
He never looked
Her in the eyes,
Always settled
For a lower class
Of Flies,
Got her lies
Ready for the prize;
Strode the streets
Carrying a scythe;
Never felt safe
In her own mind,
Never felt her peace
Aligned, Always suffered
quietly and blind,
Woke up covered
In her own vines,
Wondered why she
Never shines,
But never asked God
Why He never
Looked her in
The eyes
