With male chauvism the order of the day it feels good to know of great women making strides to make it to the top. Women making efforts to be seen and felt. Our country though in a crisis money seems to be waiting for no one.
Well as a youth I have learnt something from observation. I had a friend who though young look glamorous and pretty. The first thought that crossed my mind was a sponsor or a sugar daddy but since am inquisitive had to investigate. After continuous stocking as many would term it I found nothing.
Ade a choice that very few ladies would resort to. I approached her, complimented her beauty. She was really pretty can’t lie. From her reply I felt pathetic. I was ashamed of my thought my generalising character.
” I look good because I sell fish.” That was her answer. Well I was just as surprised as you. For the first time I felt genuine her. I felt like knowing more.
She is a young lady studying and at the time working. Her job so taken my few not even the first I thought she would do. She had the most powerful things to say.
” I look nice but in the evening change into something business oriented. I love what I do because it’s mine not given. I clean the fish fry it clean my area of work. I have to put every effort it takes.”she said with no fear.
They say mentors are seen in novels magazine but I met one. She whom I misjudged so sad to think. With her greatness I felt inspired.
For the first time it felt good to work with women. A woman with brains values all around her. Business does not need personal life involved. Most women tend to mix the two. They want easy way. We’ll check our fellows make it from uniqueness.welcome to the world of no regrets.
GIRLCHILD MATTERS
My eyes teary my eyebugs swollen
Heart shattered joy just a mirage
Just a pandemic as was termed
An alien inversion to many but
It’s a crisis it’s a dilemma it’s damage
African girl danger looms
Our girls losing hope helpless
Deserted is what it feels like
With no way to get it all
Their dreams for just a glimpse
Desires misused taken advantage of
The potbelly not pity no fear
Wickedly taking her valuables
All her wealth known to few snatched
Africa girl future cut off
See that Innocence did she deserve it
Inconsiderate society finishing her off
Emotionally breaking her physically torture
Her social rights denied her internal self done
They finished her off took advantage of her
Her lack of it all is her cause of it all
Her desire for the basic basically her weakness
Misused she is misplaced her intentions
African girl hopes shattered
She just wanted the pad her flow intense
She is just a young women cleanliness subdue
New clothes she yearned a big price she pays
He promises money but a disease shes added
The big belly her shame so heavy is her burden
The society worries not cares not
African girl dream tortured
This poem written out of pain. The feeling of neglect felt with the arrival of the pandemic with alot bound to go a mess if not looked into carefully.
The increased number of impregnated girls leaves the girl child in great danger. The society changed focus on the pandemic seems to be taking over from the fight for girlchild.
The schools closed no prevention for them. So many organisation formed to try curb the situation. Many women coming out to support our girls. The main aim is prevent more but support the affected. As women we should desist from bad mouthing and moral abusing the affected ladies. Without taking note that some circumstances are unavoidable. As they say blame game solves nothing let’s support our girls. Morally emotionally making them feel like going on. Socially the acceptance of them makes the situation better to deal with, not to say we condoning their behaviours but just being there.
Make that old man wealthy as he thinks that the woman matters more than his wealth. It pains when you hear our girls trading sex for pads. Lack of ethics so evident in our men.
With them taking advantage of all the lacks in a ladies life others even forcefully grabbing the helpless and innocent girl. If overlooked so many young mother’s bound to exist. So many with no idea let alone preparedness to take onto this role. Sad to say but even the resource nonexistant making the situation more hard even for the government.
With increased unwanted pregnancies comes alot of lost future. The ladies should be molded into leader business people and every great person comes from them. Protect a girlchild protect the future.
