My Body is My Weapon

From the fading shoreline of my homeland
To relentless viciousness in the seasoning camps
I’ve had your name inflicted on me
As well as your barbarity and the vastness of your grief
I face the east to watch the sun rise
And understand that it is the origin of life
With reluctance I force myself to face the west
And mourn my stay in the land of death
I face you with the resolution
That my life will never go unwritten
I face myself with a final understanding
That in an apartheid nation my body is my weapon
Seasons change, and while the storm winds might steal away
My breath but they do not take with them my pain
My body was expected to endure
Inhuman conditions because my existence was profane
I face the east to watch the sun rise
And understand that it is the origin of life
With reluctance I force myself to face the west
And mourn my stay in the land of death
I face you with the resolution
That my life will never go unwritten
I face myself with a final understanding
That in an apartheid nation my body is my weapon
Prejudice is an attitude, and discrimination is an action
Racism is a system…and you still benefit in that system
Without ever having to take the direct action of discrimination
This is why even when you name yourself ally
You continue to refuse your boot is on my neck
Or remove it
And I’m too exhausted to take another step
Carrying my weight and yours through endless doors
And flaming rings and having to tell you this is a mansion instead of a admitting it’s a wreck
I’m alive, I exist, I’m human and need full autonomy
No more forced deference, and no more supressed self defense
Witness my joy, experience me thriving
With every breath I take part of you is dying
For me to stand, to be seen, leaves you blind
Whoever trained you to suffer this way lied
I face the east to watch the sun rise
And understand that it is the origin of life
With reluctance I force myself to face the west
And mourn my stay in the land of death
I face you with the resolution
That my life will never go unwritten
I face myself with a final understanding
That in an apartheid nation my body is my weapon

Rage Inducer Washington, D.C.
