Because I Have A VAGINA: For Juarez
Because I have a Vagina
I have to carry pepper spray
Because I have a Vagina
I have to come home early
Because I have a Vagina
I might disappear after work;
never to be seen again.
Because I have a vagina
I am the perfect scapegoat
Because I have a vagina
I cannot walk alone
Because I have a vagina
I must look at all sides
Because I have a Vagina
I can be accosted for
the way I dress
the way I walk
the way I stare
even for the my breath of the air
Because I have a Vagina
I wanted to be raped
Because I have a vagina
everything is my fault
Because I have a vagina
I carry the weight of the world
on this bridge called my back
Because I have a vagina
I will be pillaged, plundered, robbed
by the eyse, by the hands, by the minds, by the words
of the government
of the people
of the men
of society at large
Because I have a vagina
I will fanish
I will be buried
in conspiracy theories
in a bed of lies
Because I have a vagina
those who dig deeper
will be tortured
they will die
Because I have a vagina
I AM SHE
SHE IS ME
AND SHE IS WE
Because I have a vagina
it is my business
it is my cause
Because I have a vagina
I am JUAREZ and JUAREZ is me
NI UNA MAS!!!!
