Hey Sarah, I must say You look exceptionally fine Today. What can it be? New hair? New shoes? Or, Is it that your daddy Got his welfare check And you can eat now like an Honest woman instead Of what you normally do? Yeah, we know all about What happened at that party We’re not impressed, Sarah, Not at all. My daddy works for a living And I’m not a whore, you cretins But why bother? They don’t Believe in anything I say. They’ll go on talking Thinking what they will I am not a part of this It’s nothing to do with me. They make up stories about A fictional girl; she is not I Yet I take the brunt And I get the rep I don’t deserve it. I want to stop being Sarah How hard can it be? I won’t answer to that name Sarah is someone else. You must call me Ubuntu For I am human. Not a story; A living, breathing, temptation- Resisting woman who isn’t Going to shoot you. Ubuntu cannot be mocked Ubuntu is not timid Ubuntu will hear your insults But turn again with love. They can’t hurt me I am outside of this Graduation Day: Sarah has died And Ubuntu is leaving These days have passed Those bullies might be dead For all they matter to me Yet life continues. I can do anything with This new power, if only I knew what to do. Generations Of strong women call me out From the ground What are you going to do now?
