"what massacre happens to my son
between him
living within my skin,
drinking my cells.
my water.
my organs.
and his soft psyche turning cruel.
does he not remember he is half woman."

It is a poem of Nayyirah Waheed, an African-American poet that started writing when she was only eleven. She does a minimalistic poetry.
