My life was like a jigsaw quite complete
I had all the pieces fit there looking neat
But circumstance and weakness broke it down.
Yet I have to smile where I would frown.
I can’t complain of suffering in excess
Nor order god himself to mete redress.
Loss and grief and loneliness are here.
Hostility and rage complete the sphere
Men who look alike in DNA
See themselves as other,war as play
And when the fighting stops they stand in blood
And so it is they rape for motherhood.
How can women bear to carry on ?
The wombs are empty and the world is done
I cannot make the puzzle pieces fit.
The sacred tablets broken have no wit.
