CHOCY’S DIARY: MR MAN…

This poem is dedication to every woman, wife,   girlchild and mother, inspired by Maya Angelou’s ‘Phenomenal Woman’ and Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues.

 

Phenomenal woman

Mr Man…

I know you love stealing glances

Please, let my treasures be

Go home to your trophy

Your constant thirst for fresh blood,

Beats my imagination…

Mr man

I sense very little brain molecules

In your speech and actions

You take delight in prancing like a horse

Showing off

Your manhood and pocket size

Ignorant of my fortune and power on

Your existence…

Yes! You forget

That as your mother,

You got life from my thighs

And as your wife,

You still seek life between my thighs…

Yet! You raise your hand

To strike me in spite and rage

Trying to prove your manliness

I marvel at your foolishness…

You look upon my wet pink doorway,

Weary from constant pounding and childbearing

Mutilated by culture

With digust and disdain

To seek for freshness elsewhere…

Mr. man,

Like the priceless jewel I am

I have decided to also seek freshness,

Life and vigour

In the marketplace…

You might call me a shameless whore

But I will rather have a taste of Amuludun,

The desire of every village beauty

Or just keep wielding the power of my vegetables

To cast spells on those I desire

Than remain a slave

To a worthless brute…

Aremu Abisinuola
