lyrics

At The Table ©2022 M. Azanyah

You Who Came
Uninvited
And Sat
As Though At The Head Of Our Tables
Proceeding Violently
To Unseat Us
And White-Washed Away
The Stains Of Our Blood
What Is It You Now Mean
When You Say,
"Come
Sit
Find A Place At This
Our Table"!
What Is It You Mean
When You Now Say,
"We Have Need Of Diversity
We Welcome Your Inclusion"!
You Forget
We Have Long And Vivid Memories
All Of Us!

Knived Hands
And Forked Tongues
Will Never Again
Make Of Us
A Meal At Your Table
Nor Bleached Napkins
Wipe from The Corners
Of That Crooked Smile
The Crumbs Of Our Crushed Bones
Nor The Drooling Of Our Blood
As You Attempt
To Wash Down
The Meat Of Our Bodies
That You Have So Long Fed Upon

You Must Bear responsibility
Alone
This Table
Of A Diseased And Desecrated Earth
That You Claim To Own
Own It!
Own It All!
Own It Alone!

For We Will Not Sit With You
At The Table!
