21 January 1999 Cherub Mother The disenchanted Boldly built From stone bones And rock hard skin. Consciousness Means carefulness And a humanness within. Virginity, A state of mind The stories that are told. They dig themselves into a hole And then they fail to Come right back out again. We request rape Our minds abused Willingly, Lost innocence To another place and time. Lack of freedom Defiant power Struggle to make a life From the little we have left. One plate of food Don’t ask for more The rations must be spared For those blaming their existence On our young predicament. We shine and fade At once these days You burn like sun for us And Ultra Violent tendencies Prove us your atrocities You ban us though we must, Open up our eyes, We can’t help what you don’t see Too blind to open darkness By the genuine twilight In the middle of our dreaming You wake us with nightmares To prove that you don’t care About the lives you helped create.
