I

Each day I become a victim
Each day I am traumatized

I gave birth to humanity
Yet I am forced!
I raised humanity
Yet I am threatened!

Men think I am pretty
Then why am I there slave?
They say they love us
But why do they rape?

Are we Pawpaw’s?
Of which everyone eats the outer flesh!
and the inner seeds are thrown away!
Failing to realize that it is the inner seed which gives rise to a tree of pawpaw

Are we old clothes?
Which people discard after they get new ones!
And never look back at them!
Failing to realize that once it was this clothe which covered them
Each day I become a victim
Each day I am traumatized

(Written from a perspective of an ordinary South Pacific Island woman)

Cry of An Eight Year

I fear…
I thought I was dear
Why are you giving me this fear?

Your rough rugged hands looming towards my cheeks
This is not like the usual touch of yours
It is something else
Your touch doesn’t make me protective anymore
It makes me shiver
I thought I was dear
Why are you giving me this fear?

Your eyes doesn’t have the love that it used to possess for me
Your eyes has turned devilish 
With a cunning grin you encroach towards me
I thought I was dear
Why are you giving me this fear?

You pushed me hard on the soft sofa
But I felt the pain in my small heart
You pinned down my hands hard
I tried to run
But you punched me
You ripped me off my pride and
Ate the fruit of the very seed you planted

I fear…DAD!!! I Fear
I thought I was dear
Why are you giving me this fear?

(From the perspective of a victim of Child Sexual Abuse, a problem which is so persistent yet not noticed. Amazingly in Fiji 95% of the perpetrators of Child Sexual Abuse are known to the victim according to Fiji Women Crisis Center)

Power of Love

The day has arrived!
The day of love has arrived
Time to rejoice, celebrate and remember the power of love
The power of love because of which the world is alive
It is only the power of love between the earth and the sun
Because of which we get sunshine
It is only the power of love between the grass and the rain 
That paints the grass graciously green
It is only the power of love between the ocean and the breeze
That blows the wind
The day has arrived!
The day of love has arrived
Time to rejoice, celebrate and remember the power of love
The power of love because of which the world is alive
It is only the power of love between the drizzle and the light 
That creates radiant rainbows
It is only the power of love between the sun and the moon
That makes the moon, a stone shiny
It is only the power of love between the earth and the gravity
That makes the earth perfectly stable
The day has arrived!
The day of love has arrived
Time to rejoice, celebrate and remember the power of love
The power of love because of which the world is alive
It is only the power of love between hope and life
That gave valentine, a blind his sight
It is only the power of love that has bonded you and me
I promise I will never let you flee
Cause amazing is the power of love 
It is only the power of love
	It is only the power of love
		Because of which the world is alive

Your Eyes, Cheeks and Lips

I remember your face
When you not in front of my eyes

Your glowing deepest black eyes 
The deepness of which shows our ties
I remember your face
When you not in front of my eyes


Your cheeks which blossoms like spring flowers
That I can keep on staring for hours
I remember your face
When you not in front of my eyes

Your lips! An ocean of nectar
Which I can drink forever 
My thirst for it will satisfy never
I remember your face
When you not in front of my eyes

I remember your face
When you not in front of my eyes…

Fair Not To Care

Why do you make me break in your love
Why do you act as if you don’t care
Is it fair?
Not to care?

I loved you every second of my life
Every breath of my existence is dedicated to you 
But why you ignore my feelings
My expectations
You make me bury my desires deep within the grave of my heart
Is it fair?
Not to care?

I wait hours to hear your voice
Over the phone
But do you crave the same
Do you wonder in my thoughts as I do?
Is it fair?
Not to care?

I am empty without you
My life will be eclipsed without you
Why can’t you hear the cry of my heartbeats?
Or is it that you don’t want to
Is it fair?
Not to care?

You say that you do care
But not answering my call 
Is it what you call care
You say you want to spend the rest of your life with me
I admit I can’t live without you 
But neither can I live like this

Is it fair?
Not to care?
Why do you make me break in your love
Why do you act as if you don’t care
Is it fair?
Not to care?
