They said --'Take easy "
They said -'calm down'
They said - 'Stop Talking '
They said -'Sit down '
They said -'Bow your head '
They said-'Keep on crying .Let the tears roll '
What you should do in response ???
I stood up .
Stood right up .\
Held my back straight
Held my head high
I spoke my mind .
Spoke loudly .
I screamed
I screamed so loudly
So they had to run for cover .They said , 'You are shameless , why dont you die ??"
When I heard that '' I laughed !
They said ' You have loose character '
When I heard that
" I laughed louder '
Hearing my laughter . they shouted even more loudly .
They said ' You are a whore '
When they said that
' I Just put my hands on my hips
stood and firmly said
' YES ,yes I AM A WHORE .'
" YES yes . I AM A WHORE '
They were shocked
They stared in disbelief' '
They waited to say ,much more
much more .
Men amongst them turned red and sweat
And women amongdt them dreamt to be a whore like me
