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
