Women of the Congo



Women of the Congo singing,
we will never be broken -


brutality rampant babies crying 
six nine ten men guns firing
bayonets slicing lives organs
in shreds no place left for love
fragments feebly stitched disease spreading
babies dying beautiful women singing,
we will not be broken -
no worth no bride price abandoned
shunned bodies maimed diseased
gang banged cruelty soldiers
seed harvested hateful intent


sing out sing out, they cannot take me -


bodies shattered spirit courage


they do not know me
