The Girl Child (A Poem by Babatunde Raimi) I tried to tell you But he promised me a trip A journey of no return Into the land of the spirits He took my precious jewel Saying he was making me a woman I tried to fight back But his desires trumped my weakness He slides in and out When you slide out and in I tried to tell you Each time he slides in and out But you were too busy Too busy to notice the thread is broken Why do monsters live amongst men Why do society feign ignorance Why do they still live to tell the story Maybe these are questions for the gods Each time the monster approaches Don't touch me there became my slogan The more i sing, the more enthused he became Don't tell no one, boldly he reiterates By force is RAPE With underage; worse than terrorism The blood you forced will speak Your generation yet unborn will share It is a gift i freely give A curse than cannot be lifted But you should have known You called me your Dearest Your jewel invaluable But you failed to educate me Why i should let you know When he said i shouldn't let you know When he started touching me there Promising a gift to a world beyond 1 Like |
