Do You Also Remember? by vanyvee(m): 2:20pm On Jul 06, 2015
DO YOU STILL REMEMBER..:
Do you still remember yesterday?
Still remember the default nature of our women.?
Now you want to ask, ‘what happened, or were these just pretense’?
Remember how dad used to say they are are weaker than geckos
And should be handled like broiler’s eggs
Well, they are still weak; but believe me you, not as weak as we thought
Fifteen years ago

Few years ago our women used to run in a particular style,
and speed as if exceeding them will changer their gender.
With the gentleness of a peacock they walked like walking was a feat.
And when they run their knees did bend.
A hand clutching the heap of wrapper around their breast
as if the breast was more important than the reason they ran.
Remember how we use to like chasing girls just to watch them run…
but now those girls are gone AWOL,
now they will challenge a cheater in a running duel.
And now I ask was all that a pretense or what?

Remember how awkwardly they sat on bicycle
as if striding the bicycle will deflower them.
Anything higher than 12inches,
they raised no foot to cross while going to the farm,
the greater reason the man always took the lead on a farming trip
to clear the road of stubs.
When they watch the white women in their acrobatic display,
they wowed their mouth in shock
“is this really a woman who’s got a big wound between her legs like me!!?”,
they wondered.
So I ask, was this also an act of pretense or what…


Remember how their well-clenched fist used to look funny
that we wished to have a punch from it?
How their slap felt like a granny’s pat on our back
especially when she was pretty?
Still remember how a girl’s unclothedness use to be her pride? -- hey! easy there vany
With her might she guided it from boys like me…
Remember how at school we used to saunter across where
they were playing ‘who took my needle’,
just to snatch a peek at colors of pants .. ?
Remember how telling them the color of their pant
used to shatter their wall of pride and spoil their day?
Now we don’t need peeks anymore , it now a case of “lord have mercy”...
and today they don’t give a dime if you tell them the color of their entrails,
in fact you will be shamed if you dare.


So finally I ask yet again should I blame it on civilization as usual
or was I just too naive to see that it was all pretense
because a little me in me tell me that WOMEN has been pretending since.... cant really recall the year now..
