The Undertow
Steady
Directed
Beneath the waves
Natural
Universal
Nearshore but still at sea
As a child I was taught to fear the undertow
It had stolen life from others
Stolen children from mothers
As a woman I have learned to fear white men
Determined to steal life from others
Steal the future from all
