That Piece So Vital

THAT PIECE SO VITAL Born of a woman, am a woman can't deny that Neither can't say am not born to cover the bottom Can't say that long dress shouldn't be the attire My beauty and pride lies under the pilgrim of two legs Having heartache is the worst feeling experienced For pen is mightier than the sword, can't help putting it down Gathering recipe of pieces and lines of heartfelt cry Opening my mouth dropping bombarding words that hurts to some But who cares when three or four are saved from that agony Passing that cruised knife and rubbing it through my womanhood Like a butcher chopping meat with a blunt knife Rendering me to feeling that leaves me groaning in lost bound pain Leaving me in pain, bleeding, difficulty in passing urine And sometimes leaving me in pangs of death Rendering me to a lifetime torture and disrespect from mates Can't stop feeling low and unacceptable in this new technology world Taking out something that so precious from me that gives me pleasure Only leading me to be a mans object at my tender age Am young, beautiful, intelligent where I need books and not marriage Am a child who needs care and not a child babysitting a child Need to be woman of substance maybe a philosopher Grant me that opportunity to love books and befriend them That piece so vital so don't dare touch it I don't need to under go difficulties during childbirth A grownup woman isn't by the knife but by education Please help me eradicate this nightmare of FGM Away from our communities and save our girls In the bible God instructed of male circumcision For this is my mission to fight for I will advocate for ' please save my ********' for its in danger Where preys bang loud ready to pounce on it By all means pens, books, words forum never will I stop this madness Let's join hands to fight for ' that piece so vital' Spokenword by meVISA- RU 2015 Mercymugambi10@gmail.com
