THE NUTRIENTS OF SUBMISSION

What are the nutrients in submission…that ignorant men feed on without getting any nourishment of love?What are the nutrients of submission…that uncouth men feed on to seek the doormatization of their women?What is the alcoholic rate of submission…that horrible men get drunk on…losing their senses of humanity to force their others to lose selves?What are […]

WHEN WERE WE EVER FREE?

“Growing upA girl was the company of a motherSmoke in eyesErrands on fleekSubmission tutorialsAnd ginger with pepper suppositories when a mistake repeatsNeed I talk about the slaps and whips and insults and curses? IIThen we grew into teens and blood reared its headDays of pain and grossness and segregationAfter that, household errands multipliedAnd chains of […]

THE TULIP

The Tulip now lies breathlessBeing suffocated by taunting TalibansWhose thinking wheels are stopped in archaic timesAnd are now chopping civilization on ignorant boardsTo lock women into prisons of themselvesOnly to throw those keys into the pockets of their unfit men IIThe Oak takes an esteem fallBiden being pushed into the fires of fitness…as to whether […]

WHEN A WOMAN CLIMBS HIGH

When a woman climbs highShe sees the shape of creationAnd uproots its destructive lieWhich can cause hurts and pains and drains in her nation IIWhen a woman climbs highShe sees the troubles in the future of manAnd stops many a man cryBy putting on temptation an absolute ban IIIWhen a woman climbs highShe gets to […]

DEAR WHITEMAN

I watch her puff…in a manner so toughAnd see her desire…which did naught to retireBut her words were no bluffAs she did speak without a cough II“There are many mangoes on this life tree…you can pluckI am a huge tree which comes with a fee…one you can’t duckSo look and salivate…but don’t aim to cultivate…a […]

THE DESPICABLE

He claims women are nothing without husbandsHe whose looks forces him to buy love…on illiteracy marketsTrapping him in the deceit of fools IIHe claims women are nothing without childrenHe whose children could be impositions…borne out of convenience of a cunningOr worst, traps of his rape entrapment…seeing as he believes every woman’s smile…is a coitus invitation […]

RIGHT IN FRONT

Some say we walk from the back…before getting to the frontBut we have seen women as shadows…for far too long III can jubilate us as mates of conductorsBut won’t go overboardBecause until a capable she gets into the driver’s seat…and deliversNothing changesUsing them as baits for a harvest of votes…is an affront in realistic thoughts […]

THE CROWN OF RAPE

Rape scraped the dignity of Yaaba And crowned Akowia King in Kokoraba Because the elders claimed succulent fruits must cover themselves …to stop passersby from easy plucking Agyawaadwo!

I WORRY FOR HER
