Emmanuel Faith
Can she spill sparky sperm in billions?
Or make semen march in millions?
Can his zest zap zygote till foetus?
Bouncing boy with boisterous features?
Can he feed with teats and udder?
Can they swap role of each other
Can he alter her synthesis?
To fit into his quotidian praxis?
Can we cut short assiduous assault?
Molestation in meagre and mammoth
Can we give her a voice, the voiceless?
Can she be ferociously fearless?
Can we halt heinous hegemony?
Of patriotic patriarchal ruining matrimony
Can she use the skills in the kitchen?
To impact, impart and flourish in teaching
Can the pillar of the home
Who curbs dangerous daggers that roam?
Be given a space in the state
To wipe off machos’ and such slate
Can Eve’s dazzling dauntless daughters
Be let loose like running waters
That flourishes trees by the rivers
And calm His fears, when he shivers
Can Equality equate equity?
Or entities have an identity?
Can we be equal?
