Fear Women
To fear is to be afraid of something you perceive as dangerous.
Sometimes, your perception may not even be right,
And therefore,you live with alot of false evidence that appears real,as "fear".
Well,I used to know,and still know that I must,
"fear God and obey his commandments,for this is the sole duty of man";
These were and are not my words,but words of the wise King Solomon.
He was a man,but of all things,he urged us to fear God,
He didn't see any goodness in fearing women,
As the modern young men have it.
My friends say that I am not updated,
And that I always lag behind when it comes to current affairs.
But,let us be serious here,
Where did the statement,"fear women" originate from?
At first,it was "nyash" that was trending even when I didn't know what it was,
And before I knew it,men were already fearing me and my sisters.
Who made them a prophecy,
That women had turned into goddesesi?
Or,who told them that we had started biting like dogs or vampires?
Instead of the town's street being crowded with evangelists preaching the gospel,
It is filled with alot of men spreading the fear of women.
Wherever I go,on the social media platforms and even in my own home,
Men clearly sate that women are to be feared,
And they shamelessly give no solid reason for making their stand.
And,so, I stand here to ask for the very last time,
What is the benefit of fearing women?
And besides,why should you even fear someone who was made from your own rib?
Do not give me your answers yet,may be later!
The women you are fearing or intend to fear are,
Your mother's and sisters;
Your wives and daughters;
These are people who genuinely love you and desire to remain part of you,
And some,even pray to be part of your lives, and to be with you.
But,you have corrupted your brains with a floating statement advising you to fear women,
As if they are the most horrible sinners on earth,
As if only they,are destined for hell,
As if they are even the cause of your bad luck and failure in life!
Fearing women is your choice,
But you always have a chance to change that choice.
Men,stop fearing women as if they are devils.
The weaknesses you see in them,shouldn't make you brand yourself perfect,
For we all are humans,and we are born in sin,which makes us imperfect
Except for the precious blood of Our Saviour which sets us free.
Fear us not! Do not fear women,but fear your God,
For we do not hold your future andife in our hands,
But God does. Fear God and leave women alone!
