GIRL CHILD LAMENTATION
Why call a girl child
Good for nothing
Struggle against progress
Father! Let me speak out my mind
After a long time
Your best friend is segregation
Among boys and girls
You feel the boys should
Be more educated than girls
We are entangled in deep
Rocks and caves where light
Can’t reach
We grief day and night
But we are not heard
As much as we try
We are already blocked
We are like junk to the world
With no dignity
Father! Why don’t you want
Our future to illuminate
Even the disabled have been
Segregated like us
When the blind person
Passes across, they see
Him as a useless person
OH! My God what shall we do to
Avoid all these problems caused
By Humanity
But what also annoys
Fathers is that when
A girl is educated
She turns out to be
A crazy figure on the street
Doing nothing but prostitution
OH! My God even the
Educated men go on picking
These girls on the streets and
Paying them money which
Is the best was of
Encourage them but
They don’t know
All I advise the parents
Keep your girls as
Something fragile knowing
That any time it can
Go bad and they will
Always live to respect you.
