WOMEN, THEIR RIGHTS & LEADERSHIP

Me & a group of artists were discussing about a bill that recently failed to be passed into law in our parliament. The bill was about women being given a third representation in the national assembly. I gave out my views but it turned out that I had used strong language & I tend to be misunderstood…. I said women had to first “SHOW THEIR METAL”.


I did not mean & don’t intend to offend women all I was showing was tough love & challenging them to be stronger. because leadership is dangerous…. I put my views in a poem below…..

  WOMEN THEIR RIGHTS & LEADERSHIP

Women, who do you want to fight for your rights is it we men,
You have something behind that love & caring display,
You got everything that you need…..
All that is remaining is for you to free your minds & make a step,
You quote strong terms, but do you live by them..????
What a man can do, a woman can do better……. OK be the Trendsetter,
Roses are not flowers alone, show your thorns,
Girls run the world, run it we fully support you…
but don’t forget to support yourselves first,
If u educate a girl you empower the whole community…………
Free us too, we are also victims of their impunity,
Power turning brother against brother, father against son,
So please try & bring the unity that we see in the vicinity, but before that you have to…
Free your minds from all the rhetoric society has put on you,
All the oppression of generations, abusive & demeaning cultures,
Then work from that point & you’ll achieve different results,
Waiting to be given will keep you waiting,
Or at best get you a rotten fruit,
but if you truly want it, its there for the taking,
That’s nature’s law…SURVIVAL FOR THE FITTEST….
