Poem
Hold on your horses! Did you just say that women can't? Did I hear you say that they are inferior? Or did you just call them household helpers? Gone are the days when women did nothing, Gone are them days when housewives was their career, Gone is the era when their existence was to please men, Gone is the slogan that women can do what men tell them to. Women can make earth a better place even better, Look what Joyce Banda did,a greatest leader of all times, Take a look at Winnie Madkizela,a greatest force in Anti-Apartheid, Look at what Ellen Johnson Sirleaf did,isn't it credit-worthy? We need more Maya Angelous in poetry, We need more Chimamandas in literary works, We need more females who can think freely and talk their minds, We need a generation where women's voices will be heard. This will come to pass if only we embrace change, This will only happen if we decolonize our minds from male chauvinism, And this will begin from empowering our sisters, For one that educates a girl educates a community. ©Poet Igweee
