IDENTITIES

By Bezel Hungwe

 

How does this little man grow to ill treat the ones that made sure he grew?

How does he get to think inferior of the ones that looked after him in his tender ages?

Even so , she fell victim.

Docility driven minds , not passive but passionate

Not aggressive but attentive.

 

Today they still raise men , Great Men !

Men who think better of themselves than the ones that better them.

 

I'm amazed,  Why aren't you?

I feel transformed, Why don't you ?

I've seen the fruits of change, why haven't you ?

The whole world awaits what you deprive it of.

You've been a victim of different insecurities which came from different directions,

Hatched through them like a hen looking for life

Only to discover that the temperatures were unlikely fit for you.

But still...

 

You strived through sheer force of will to counterface racism , subjugation and prejudice.

Yes , prejudice!

 

He dazzled,  and all he saw was an extra.

I mean an anchor. Yes, a non-identical being they say.

 

Theories of a system that's been defeated over and over again.

EnlightenedGees abstain. Let her gain, not pain but I'm just saying...

 

Even God said she was to help, not to be helped.

Don't say you're helping her when jobs are still gender-based.

When you still get to make decisions, when we still have divisions, it's time to make improvisions.

 

I'm bothered? No !

Does it bother you ?

That a woman can do better what you do good.

 

Dear black girl, check your time.

It's a minute past anger,

A decade past Docility,

A century past inactivity,

No more passivity!

 

I, I cherish a world where she doesn't have to be so strong because he has her back.

I cherish a world where she doesn't lose privilege because her skin is dark.

Got has created her to help, but have you asked yourself if she is happy to help ?

Is she helping or doing?

 

Even so,

Her sacrifice is not remunerated or appreciated in any way.

 

EnlightenedGees You've been enlightened,  stay woke!
