Bahrain... a poem by Aneeta Khoso


~bahrain~


FINISH YOUR HOMEWORK!
DONT SAY A WORD!
DONT GET IT WRONG!
ILL MAKE SURE IT HURTS!

please listen
let me explain
they took my pen
i tried to complain

THIS IS A HANGER
I WILL UNTANGLE
USE AS A WHIP
YOU'LL NEVER FORGET

they took my toys
and my lunch
they took my joy
my feelings are hurt

WHAT FEELINGS
YOURE ONLY ELEVEN
A SILLY CHILD
I'LL TEACH YOU A LESSON

look, look, look at this
aren't you proud of me
i got an A minus

LOOK AT WHAT
TEAR IT UP
WHAT GOOD'S A MINUS
YOU HAVE NO WORTH

i am sorry
for what ive done
being born
as your son
