THEME: FEMINISM

ADEPOJU BABAJIDE

Title: FEMIMISM

Come oh way my love
I shall at your feet bow and make you a princess
not feminism,for feminist play with their own emotionsy
for adichie,s hibiscus and emecheta,s joy
of motherhood she claimed
I am not a feminist but feminism lies at the feet of cowards.

My love, I am of the timid ones
I was there when timidity crawled into my father's bones
but feminism bowed at his feet
Yes,feminism bowed at his feet
At the smile of the moon
my grandmother would unleash her terror of fairy tales
but she died on the bed of broken truths
So shall feminism.

KOLAWOLE ENIFENI SAMAD

TITLE: UNTITLED.

From WOMB to tomb, 'she' is blessed.
But many unsatisfied nights, 'she's' had,
Although, 'She' remained in her armour like a knight.
Even when 'She' decisions in the world couldn't ignite.

 From WOMB to tomb, 'She' is tortured.
Of all words, the word 'She' shouldn't be sidelined.
'She' is the salt of the word;mostly said.
Forever, 'She' remains a shade tree to rest unto when tired.

A perfect insight to 'She' Importance to the World.

Why must ' She' not be respected?
All in all,why were 'She' wings cut so low?
One important rib of Adam's –
Of course 'She' was made to thrive.

In her will, 'She' wished to roar.
In her thoughts, 'She' wished to soar.
Soar higher and be heard.
For without 'She',the world is a graveyard.
