WE WANT OUR BODIES BACK
written by: FC Malby
In memory of David Carrick’s survivors (they are not victims, they are survivors)
We want our bodies back
the flesh you took
thinking it was yours
for the keeping.
We want our bodies back
the ones you thought you
owned, like a play thing
a game of cat and mouse.
We want our bodies back
they are not for sale
and they do not belong
to you or your desires.
We want our bodies back
because you thought that
by dehumanising us it would
make your fragile ego stronger.
We want our bodies back
because you didn’t hear
our no, didn’t ask, and
because they are sacred.
