Hadija (A Poem)
From the Book Titled "Say It! Say Gen-o-cide!!"
opens her eyes
breathes in air
and drinks water
while some others
with less stress
are a mess
and would not think to bother
She keeps on living
and giving
the sunlight she can
Repressing
her blessings were taken
by man
Repeatedly gang raped
Husband chopped up like fruit
Shuffling through rallied hatred
to fertilize
her country's watered root
Hadija
opens her eyes
breathes in air
and drinks water
Interahamwe had slaughtered
her brother
her father
her in-laws
her neighbors
her children
her friends
Publicly torturing the women
Outright murdering the men
Happy to have been saved
from the slayings
without graves
but her death sentence
is slower
She's now dying of AIDS
