Keatlegile Mthimunye Poet Free verse

My Gender Is a Turbo

I walk down the streets of  my kasi with a face of fear.
My mind, soul and body are full of scars 
Beyond my imagination I see no reason to live.
Pains has become part of me, that I do not feel it anymore 
What have I done wrong to my fellow gender!?
My cry doesn't cross your heart,
Nor hit your conscience.
Have you forgotten  that I am a being too
I am a hunted human.
I am a women after all.
