Alpha
Title:ALPHA
Poet:Mizdee aka bossdiva
I come from a land
where men are gods
and do no wrong
But to exist, a crime, as a woman
In my land
pundits abound, in all sizes
but a woman must be
a face without a voice
A land:
where men are groomed to lead
but a trimmed woman, like chameleon
must blend into the shades of his glory
In marital union
when conflicts arise
The alpha in him emerges
vanquisher of 'demons' that give her voice
Ever-changing times adorn him in a cloak of civilization
underneath beats the heart of a savage
left to chance
He'll seal her lips with padlock
Equally created, were they both
by the giver of life
to love, to cherish, to respect
but a corrupt seed was sown
Nevertheless:
On the dawn of truth,
a liberated woman will awake
to unlearn each dark lie
and speak, to the ears of the world...
