Into a wreck
And debris piled to a dunghill
When they escaped burial grounds
Then pierced by the proboscis of rites
That sucked their blood like a flea
To appease imperious gods
In the chain that chafed their fate
They danced the death-dance of destiny
But like the night folds its dark carpet
There will no longer be
A new set of Aba women
They will burst their blisters
Ground their grudge
Weed their woes
Plough their pasture
Verdant with matrimonial miseries
Some day between the dreaded days
Twined on feminal fortune
The beefy smell of springtime flowers
Will honour their coming tamarind
Widow
Clamped like a talking drum Under the
armpit of that sacrament She writhes and
groans and clasps Her febrile palms in
thunderous murmurs Scourged with solitude
She bears the cross like the Jewish King Longs
for the paradise Where dwell the homeless
lords Crushed under faceless soles Ever
supplicates in the well of woes She basks on
the marital island And breeds her seeds to life
She tends the tomb of virtues - This sour and
unsweetened spring In the conjugal Kalahari -
I have known a widow with a living cap.

Respect a woman
This world is a beautiful place just because of a
woman,
The world will never be interesting without the
smile of a woman,
There will never be human generation without
a woman,
A woman is the taste of this life for her
responsibilities,
Respect her as a mother and you will be ever
happy,
Love her as a wife and your home will forever be
in peace,
A woman is the colors of like that beautify men's
hearts,
Respect a woman for her duty of nurturing a
child to grow,
A woman is the secret of this life for our
prosperity,
Never beat her because is the worst thing to do,
Never rape her because that is the most dirty
thing to do,
Never insult her because that will make her cry,
Love a woman for who she is because she
deserved respect,
Make a woman smile and that will light your day
all through,
Pamper her because she needs caring and love,
Make her happy and you will surely be happy
with her,
Eliminate social vices against women in the
world.
