Do you have no dignity? Or abilty to form sentences using meaningful sounds civilized people call words? It is one thing for a woman to bewail the death of family and friends in a culture where that is the norm, and quite another thing for this to be copied and to be presented as a political statement. This is not constructive.

not wailing nowhere nowhen nohow
