it was you who started it, <br />years, and years back, you do not anymore remember, <br /> <br />but i still remember that pain <br />that insult <br />that oppression and for years i grow to have this horn <br />this tongue of the snake <br />this scales of the crocodile <br />this sharp teeth of the shark <br /> <br />i have traveled the oceans and the mountains <br />i have searched the forest and the <br />all the crevices down under the earth <br /> <br />for years, in the silence of my pain <br />now, i shall face you <br /> <br />we shall not fight, we shall be brothers.<br /><br />Suki Nakamura<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-was-you-who-started-it/
