ABUSED - 'SAYING SOCIETY' WHAT HAVE WE SAID HER INTO THIS TIME

‘Saying Society’

What have we said her into?

We mouthed her

Mouthed her back to her nightmare

She became our plague

She became our shame

She became our dent

She became our ordeal

We pushed her

Pushed her back

She pleaded for our understanding

She pleaded for our help

Our holier-than-thou attitude didn’t let us think

Our family ego didn’t let us help

We pushed her

“Go, go, go back

It’s your home

Don’t let another take

What you have worked for”

We told her we were against the act

We told her we were with her this time

He came begging

He came pleading

He looked repentant

Like he always has after his wicked act

We joined in assuring her it won’t happen again

We pushed her

Who will tell the story of what happened

The head is down

The mouth is shut

Who will tell us what happened

Why cry

We pushed her

She never wanted to go back

But we didn’t let her be

The name and ego we tried to protect is now everywhere

Everywhere for the very wrong reasons

Will she survive this?

Saying society

Oh Saying Society

Who is our next target?

When will we look beyond us?

And deal with the issue

Let these women be

Let them live

Help them live

Stop the stigmatization

Say No to all form of Domestic Violence

Say it and sand by it

LENSES

I struggled for too long Being who I wasn’t Fitting my circle into other people's
perfect squares -- into all their
expectations for me Their perception was all that mattered What they will see and say Their standard for success and achievement
I showed up acting who I wasn’t Like a dancing monkey under obligations to perform magic To gain their recognition and affirmations for being who I wasn’t Against being Me
I broke the chains and gained freedom the day I stopped looking at myself through other people’s lenses because I discovered people wore lenses tinted and shaded to suit them not Me

WHO EXACTLY

Housed in a container Moved in it Identified by its aesthetics But sometimes lost in it Who exactly am I the container or the content
Sometimes I try so hard to figure exactly what it is about this combo Sometimes complicating other times compelling sometimes conflicting other times cooperating
Influenced by the countless conversations with the inner and the outer the seen and the unseen the known and the unknown Then I discover It goes beyond this container there is something about content
As adorned as this container maybe embellished with so much beauty the content remains the substance that give it credibility Beyond the container that interacts is the content that keeps the flow is the content that leaves memorable impacts
