Today, I was called a bush woman
Because my eyebrows are not drawn like a caricature and painted
My nails are not fixed long like talons and painted
My lips are not coloured like a blood soaked sucker
My cheeks are not red like a scared White person
My buttocks are not loose and dancing kpanlogo
My breasts are not peeking out and shouting “Those attracted come let’s go”
My eyelids are without wings
My hair is without fake strings
1b
Today I was called a bush woman
For being the real being of my maker
How odd!
But did it strike a moral chord?
