over the course of these times,

we have been beaten up like dogs.

we have been starved.

we have been victims of neglect.

these are the hands around our necks,

it's cause and effect.

because if you back a dog into a corner,

she will bite you wherever she can.

through the panes of broken glass

to the daughters of broken promises?

to the sons of abusive technologies?

we are the ones who know too well,

that if you back a dog into a corner,
