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.
