Vautism

While I wept I begged for my mother, but she was not in the room with me.

The doctors were outside and I was alone in the room, and they were talking about me.

Then they all came in to the room, and my mother was not there, and they held me down and stabbed me.

For a few days after, I could not walk well, for the vaccine had hit a nerve in my leg.

The first time I threatened my mother that I would kill myself, I was seven years old.

America, don’t buy into the witch doctor bullshit.
