My Id

Pushed against the wall
I almost hear the grit within
Screaming in its concrete confines
To be dusts once more
Free in the wind
I scream too
As his fist smashed into my face
Blood spurting from my lips

School yards open spaces
are no escape from him;
And his minions
Those who prey on the weak
And suck up to the strong
The school yard bully
In every way, body and soul
Imprint each slap in my mind

Crushed on the grass
Green dye on my skirt
A knee up my crotch
He spits on my face
Called me a whore
Called my mother
A bitch in heat
My father a limp dick

The world explodes in red heat
The blue sky shimmered azure
The earth pushes me to the limit
The screaming banshees shriek
The hands of Kali
The distant drums of warriors
Feet stamping a wardance
Centuries flow within red seconds

I stand alone within the dock
Looking out to the black frocked
Clever men with clever words
Reached from shelves of libraries
‘You have been charged
For a murder first degree
Under Section 302 of the Penal Code
How do you plead’

‘Not guilty your honour,
I was bullied.’
