Flower Bed

A flower bed was where I was made

Such a lovely scene someone would say

Roses, tulips and sunflowers too

A perfect day where the sky was clear blue

 

On that flower bed I was conceived

Where a woman, my mother, grieved

She fought and screamed

A woman who was double-teamed

 

A flower bed is where I’m from

A woman was raped numb

Helpless against the horrible hell

A few months later her stomach swelled

 

I blame the flower bed.
