Woman
WOMAN
The cruelty of civilization has failed the society
That coyness and awe matter less to bear
Left in nowhere
Discarded by modern evolution
The carnage of life; by the life we live
Life was modest; living adore
Even after the chastised glory of the body
Which was later covered in wool from head to toe
And left nothing to be seduce of friend and foe
And here comes a ballistic civilization
That pockets’ modesty for arrogance
And changes human living to inanity
Nothing is as bravura as an African woman
Whose curvy nature left no doubt in mind
Created to crack mans’ incessant campaigns
Yet found in the midst of civilization
Where reticence was surrogated with arrogance
But do you know how meaningful is blatancy?
Hmm! to others is modesty
It is the absurdity in nudity
Even, the whites in their nakedness
Cannot be as seductive as a clothed Africa woman
Whose creation was done without blunder
In the perfection of natures’ order
Though evolution fought the pride in her
A force to make over even upon her dark pigment
And scrounge from the hairs of carcass
To look like an Indian mermaid
A lot was lost to lust
Beauty, respect and pride
Like the traditional African attire
To piece of rag from the western world
And as it still remains the myth of creation
The whites alter creation via engine
The noise, the breast and the buttocks
That which is found in every new born African woman
