When does it get Political?

Act 1, Scene 1: The Hospital

Did I crawl till here 

The bruises on my body 

say otherwise

I scream on top of my lungs

but no one can hear me

"Should we call her husband?"

They look at the red on my forehead 

but fail to see the red on my body

"Help" 

my eyes scream

They too get covered 

like my bruises

And that's when they said

"She won't make it this time."
