Tell Stories Of 1929 - Response To Chiamanda by afroxyz: 4:03pm On Apr 24, 2018
Mouth sealed
Not an utterance
When our brothers were rolling
With their heads in mud

Snubbed,
looked the other way
when soldiers tamed our anger
With dancing phytons

Not even a sneeze
When the cries of our healthy nation
Was being ruled
from the hospital bed

Why not tell stories of 1929
Who were the women of that time?
Or the female husbands of Ohafia
Who share land and property

You are a mother
But know nothing of womanhood
Another horse rider
Using a common cause
for personal glory
