A fire inside me burns / a deep ache smoldering /
Not a burn of passion / no / something more violent /
thirsty / hungering for destruction /
Has raged inside me / from the moment
my bloodline took root /
The instance XX became a chromosomal pair /
Some say it all began with the forbidden fruit /
if I were a believer / I might agree / But this rage
did not begin with Eve / nor Adam / or any other
fictive dream /
It began with an explosion / a fiery big bang /
Then the moment / that Men came to have a name /
Such power in a name / in hands designed to subjugate /
With XX came XY / A once bright fire became a dim light /
When Man smashed Mother Earth beneath their feet /
Plundered and scorched to conquer / everything within reach /
But they could not snuff the flame / of every Woman
that lost a name /
This violent / thirsty / hungering burn / is full of voices
never heard /
