WOMEN EMANCIPATION

NOT A SNAKE

I marvel at the way

Taunters justify and say

‘tis a tradition and needs no reaction

Sad! With today’s intellect and technology

A pox on all those thoughts!

Veins are connected

A running blood goes through it

Gayly working with other organs

In feelings of ecstasy and

Never wanting to die before the whole

Ah! But superior and low confidentias care less

Now! Please stop!

Overbearing beings, please feel

Taste their shoes and feel the death of their pleasure

A stitch in time, they say, saves disgrace

Shiver and quiver

Nets are for fishes

Africa needs a light

Kill those thoughts

Emancipate your minds and let the clits be

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

You are so very right. I always raise my voice against blindly-following traditions and values. Everything should make sense cause doing it for the sake of it is just an excuse for us to look and sound foolish and stupid. I wish we could do better as humans and use our brains.

Kind Regards,
