A Woman's Life Matter

A pen alone is never enough to capture your emotions woman,
Writing from my mother’s eyes these lines are beyond feminine, 
seeing everyday as your lives and innocence get taken, 
as a man I began to question the worth and purpose of my own life, 

The system is sleeping on you but the angels are woke, are?
they won’t even react to these realest words to bring life to hope,
without women who will birth the future, 
how many should die before we paint the picture?

Words alone are not enough to win this war,
action is missing  hence it went this far,
most of you still cry out loud silently,
South Africa is ignorant to your cries for peace and mercy, 

I hope you read and digest this Mr President, 
God is female so these women important, 
don’t speak positives post demise, 
when you have the power to save their lives.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
