"The Humiliation of Oppression"

WE HAVE GAZED INTO EVERY FACE.
WE HAVE CARED FOR MANKIND.
WE HAVE SEEN AND TOUCHED ALL OF
THE HUMAN RACE.
WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO BABIES.
WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO MEN.
WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO WOMEN.
BUT WE HAVE NOT FOUND YOU,
IDENTITY.

WHY DO YOU HIDE YOUR FACE?
HUMILIATION I FEEL FOR ALL OF
US.
SOME AMONG THE HUMAN RACE ARE A
DISGRACE,
LIKE SAVAGES THEY BEHAVE.
THEY TREAT GOOD NURSES LIKE
DOGS AND LIKE BEASTS.
THEY WILL NOT SEE THEIR FACE
AND KNOW THEY ARE JUST YOU
AND ME.

O IDENTITY, WE WILL FIND YOU
YET,
THOUGH STORMS WILL COME AND
THIS OLD EARTH WILL SHAKE.
YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM US MUCH
LONGER.
YOU CAN BE SEEN IN EVERY FACE
OF AN OPPRESSED WOMAN.
