The Girl cries yet no response
The Girl seeks yet no aid
The Girl wanders helplessly yet no refuge
The Girl push yet she is cast-off
Who will wipe away her tears?
Who is willing to hear her out?
Who is willing to give her a resting shoulder?
Who is ready to defend her cause?
The entire contest is against her
Many now have wrong assumptions about her personality
A lot see her as a second fiddle
All odds are against her
When she is abused and discriminated
When she is segregated and disappointed
The world refuses to listen to her plea
None seems to consider her plight because of her gender
Can we say she is an endangered breed?
Who will changed these bold handwritings?
Can these plenty myopic conclusions be ever debunked?
Will these incessant emotional trauma be kept at bay?
Some say it is a man’s world while many proclaim her as a slave-servant
Few believe she cannot be a right choice
She must be a weakling others says
But she needs a genuine vessel that will advocate her dispositions
But were lies the firm solution?
There need to be a thorough resolution
Where can she find a platform for justice?
Which ear is willing to listen to her endless pains?
Where are the new Malala, Mother Theresa and Helen Keller?
Their education should be encouraged
Their lives conditions must be enhanced
Their dreams must be realized!
How can this be when the center stage is yet to be set?
How can this be when many still go into marriage with wrong motives and harmful considerations?
How can this be when serious life threatening issues are wrongly politicized?
How safe are we were wrong doctrines are still enshrined in a handful number of world religions?
Can there be hope where infant marriage, female genital mutilation are treasured?
Can there be solace where religious dogmatism, fanaticism, and covetous zeal has blinded sane minds?
Can there be solution where education is kept at an undeveloped state?
Note, knowledge impartation is still very much expensive in many climes
Provision of social amenities in Africa and most especially in Nigeria is a prayer point
Nations beauties are handicapped due to nepotism, sectionalism and religious bigotry
Political instability, terrorism, and ‘foolish’ corruption are dancing naked in the open market square
Poor child-upbringing and domestic violence is now a commonly-embraced trend in homes
We can truly alter these maladies
Weighty issues can be well-tailored in the right perspectives if they are fully backed up with traceable actions
This can only be possible only if we are dare serious
But who is willing to risk and eventually change these narratives?
