We plowed the fields Cleaned the toilets Survived the births Fought the battles
Shared the bread
Saved the water
Found the money
Paved the way
Treated like a commodity
Told we have little value
Pushed to leave "our space”
Shelved as “out of date”
Predators circle
Smelling sweet success
Family far away
Tricks no treats
Circling, following, pouncing
Waiting, watching, wondering
Youth is blind
Middle Age wears an eye patch
Old Age is told what to see
