DEAR CHILD

You gather stars with your soft songs

And woo the naked moon

With your innocence 

The moonlight kisses your presence

And speaks of you highly

In the rays of her full nakedness

She comes down to fellowship with man

In the wake of your presence

Mother nature sends her apologies 

She pleaded guilty

To her ill-treatment 

Of hatred; of pain; and suffering

On floods of your kind

Buried deep into their mothers comfort

I plead guilty too

If only I wasn't born

Into this failed society

Where you my child 

will never go to school

Where the teachers cane 

Will never taste your buttocks

If only I wasn't around 

To witness

When you my child

Grow up to understand

That the land is polluted 

By sour taste of testosterone juice

The land is not as green

As they claim it is

They say its a patriarch system

That's why you my daughter

Would disown my name 

For another man's 

So you see

That your charming beauty

That sparkle of smile you cherish

Would be wiped off your face

Because you smell of no testosterone fragrance 

Your emerging breasts

Made of milk and honey

Would be doused by wicked lips 

Who consider your kind to be weak

And unequal to bearers of two testicles

My son

If only I could stop you

From hearing the mother drum

The rumbling brawl

From the street where the youths are lazy

if only I could take you off

The company of fools

Those men with sold conscience 

Running after the fragrance 

that came of greed

Don't be like them son

Don't walk in the path

Of lesser mortals

Many souls had gone beyond

Many souls are paralyzed by corruption 

Look away from them

For what lies ahead

Is condemnation.
