…And Her Too
A poem: Inspired by #ArewaMeToo
He was 18 (years older)
Don’t ask who saw what first
It was love at first sight
“Ask her, she knows”, he says
Children are seriously cute
It is not taboo to say such
He prefers describing her with more
She blushes, “he telled me I very sexy”
Those small boys will soon mess her up
Schooling is too much time paid to be wasted
She can already speak and listen properly
“Baba, I see a flower in your garden”, he said
“Marriage is very sacred union” - They
Is it not madness to think otherwise?
So for better or by force, let us go on
He cheerfully announced, “I do, baby girl”
Their sex is safe; they are man & wife
But one woman is not enough for a real man
Pleasure for him and service from her
He smirks, “Didn’t I pay her bride price?”
She had her mother’s silence
Obedience is necessary for women
Crafting wife material can be challenging
“She used to be very stubborn”, he laughs
Parenting will not be stressful
She has the young energy to keep up
Let the gods not curse her with daughters
Her screams of “forgive me” will not save her
Just like Cinderella, she lives…ever after
Let people enjoy things plix and tank you
I’m not sure what you waiting to read next
Would you like more tea while you mind your business?
