I will deliver the truth? I Ashti. five foot- 2 inches, 90 pounds. malnourished, dark-skinned, haven't finished school, female. I will deliver the truth. I don't know the language of your global culture. I only know how cruel it can be. I will deliver the truth? who will listen? how can I make them listen? if I bare my breasts maybe they will listen. Because that's all I have to show them. I will deliver the truth. what is the truth that I will deliver. what do you want me to tell them? what do I know to tell them. From halfway around the world, they destroyed my father. And all my mothers love couldn't keep them at bay. And now your telling me I have something to say. | Yes. Ashti. You have something to say. oh Ashti You will be upon a pedestal high above them They will look up to you and what you have to say Markets will crash on your word Men will become weak-kneed before you Their Empires will come down after you And when all the dust has settled and when they see That all their toys have been returned Yes. Ashti. You have something to say.
