I accuse woman

women played helplessnesswe allowed it to happen that men took charge
of our earth,
that women allowed themselves to be robbed of their original task
that by a lack of self respect and laziness
women dethroned themselves

we allowed it to happen that women
naively played helplessness, hid themselves
behind the skirts of imagined superiority

but the commission we received
has never been withdrawn
we, women and men, have to take charge
protect and maintain the earth
that was entrusted to both of us
