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
