Without cover she becomes
Inhuman like the pages in a book
Or the image on a screen
Her existence is no less valid
Than those that hold her down
His guilt is washed away
He hides the lie beneath
His wealth and shame
Forced to walk behind, she remains second class
Stripped of her Self and of her dignity
Denied the rotting human inside
Allowed the only power that he wants her to have
The Slave
[Our speices has created a gender dichotomy which assumed that differentation is indicative of a superior / inferior relationship. The weaker sex is that which exploits the other.]
