POEM
Where’s Her-story

With this quill
I paint a gory story
Not for glory
For history.

Over a while
I’ve wondered
Where’s Her-story?
In this story
I’ve heard no song
In history
That sings her-story.

All i see is a corrupted story
History has corrupted my memory
I’ve been told
Power is glory
Through reading history
I ask where is Her-story?

I scratch my memory
I’ve no re-collection
Of her-story in my memory.

In history she’s
A thief, a slut, a lier
A whore, a bitch and a wicked witch
When will she narrate her-story?
We can understand her glory.
