16 Days of Activism to End Violence against Women28 November 2012 In silence we cried, "Is it nothing to you, all you that pass by?" (Lamentations 1:12) Lamentations
We bring the tears of women________
Our tears as victims of sexual
slavery and trafficking,
Of
discrimination, marginalization and honor killing,
Our tears
for those women and girls who have no choice
To
dress, work, or study what they please,
Our tears as
we are burdened with poverty,
Tirelessly seeking food for
children and family __
As the world decides on going to Mars
Of the tallest buildings and
reinventing star wars_
Is it nothing to you all you that
pass by?
We bring the tears of women ______
Our tears as we watch our islands
being destroyed
by nuclear testing and
colonization__
We bring the tears of Indigenous
women
for the loss of our culture, our
wisdom and strength,
Is it nothing to you all you that
pass by?
We bring the tears of women_______
Of those who survived and those who
never made it.
Our tears as victims of war and conflict,
Our tears as women whose stories were never told,
Our tears as women struggling to
survive
Of monsoons that failed, of crops
that were destroyed,
Of heavy debts and no work____
Is it nothing to you all you that
pass by?
We bring the tears of women________
Our tears as we cry for our country,
Our tears as we cry for our children
Lost in the war
Lost in the fight for liberty
Or somebody's war that we don't
understand!
Is it nothing to you all you that pass by?
