once they belong to us

Once they belong to us,

we can take everything we’ve

secretly,

criminally,

ashamedly

wanted.

Once they belong to us,

we can take

their body,

their freedom,

their voice,

their will to live.

Once they belong to us,

we can take it all

openly,

legally,

proudly.

Once they belong to us,

we can take everything we’ve always wanted.
