Man Got Power Over Me

Am dreadful for that man Who once took my womanhood away Leaving me weak and submissive to his way Thus becoming a woman powerless over him. In a tingle of last painful memories I see myself doing his food, his bed, his clothes I know in this day am not so different But in this period of time, I see a woman Powerful over the man. I carry the load of being an African woman Knowing deep within there’s a woman who Has not yet found her inner free self………… And so with tears of pain And a strong amour towards the man I shall be back to enlighten, And change that woman ………the man’s sweet slave. Written between 2000-2003 Just the young thoughts of the young mind
