“Where were you”
Where were you?
i know where you were.
i was there.
You were on the sidelines,
watching, silently agreeing,
Agreeing with framing
the marginalised as oppressors
So your one-dimensional worldview
could remain intact.
Where were you?
i know where you were.
i was there.
You were on the sidelines,
watching, waiting ....
Waiting for the balance to
decisively tip in one direction
So your privileged self
could side with the victor.
That's not what happened, you say?
That's not how it felt.
i was there.
