A Woman's Reality
A Woman's Reality.
Indoctrination is Destroying our nation.
The challenge we’re facing
Is Killing the female population...
Because of men who claim they're Man
Call that "huMen" nature
Or monstrosity if you may,
It’s no human nature,
because such atrocities
Have tarnished our societies.
Gender Inequality's Just vacuous macho analogy
It has no advantages
But disadvantages Women
To protect male vanity, while proving their lack of sanity.
O! Nurturing hand
How I fear your threatening nature,
but all roses have thorns,
for what is beauty with no danger. "Wathint' abafazi wathint' izimbokodo"
Forgive me...
I was oblivious of your pinnacle,
I knew no better
because society raised me to judge beauty based on visuals.
Mother, I'm no murderer. I wouldn't murder my own mother.
Sister, I'm not sinister.
I wouldn't molest my own sister

Author's Note
The Issue of Gender Based violence is spiralling out of control, especially here in South Africa. I wrote this in hopes to perhaps inspire change, as naive as that may seem. #NotInMyName

“For what is beauty with no danger” is my favorite line. This was a rigid read for me, which I’m sure was the intent. Very emotion packed spill..
