DUTY POST
When a molester is undeterredWhen the victims lip is sealed
When observers are unconcerned
When authorities are unperturbedWhat shall we do?
If all they say is wait
If potentials lives are deteriorating
If convicts have no lesson to learnIf remand homes cannot rebuild lives
What shall we do?
Now that sexual abuse is the root of major sicknesses
Now that 70% of prostitutes suffered child sexual abuseNow that 60% of runaways were sexually abused
Now that 80% HIV positive victims were victimsWhat shall we do?
Agitations fell on deaf ears
No redress, no plans for redress, no agenda
We shall continue the quest for answersThe questions would one day be answered
No stopping, no silence

SEQUENCE
Writer, do not change my words, write in EnglishMarriage is an institution ordained by God, yes
It is holy solemnization, celebrated by men,
A union of soul and body of a coupleThat is what they say.
It is to be enjoyed, for procreation too
My marriage is the exact opposite
Several institutions, with a man and plenty womenUnholy and enforced by my parents
United by parents endured by daughters
My uninformed consent does not even count nor sought
I feel so awkward among them; makes me cry night and dayA dirty marriage where I wash dishes daily
Fear of contracting AIDS, the beginning of wisdom,Jealousy and rage I apply caution
My real mates learn Arithmetic and sex education
Present mates teach me sex copulation
My mates here, my grandmas playgroup thereTheir grandchildren are my mates at the civic centre
Do not belong here but left with an alternative
Learning how to please all, the best alternativeLiving to be an instrument of enjoyment for old manMy life, my potentials, my future all in a dowry basket,
Or was it exchanged for a head of cow?I was traded like a slave to papa
He was even present at my mothers christeningMy playground now is on the smelling mat
He digs into my cloth with hoe like nails.The question is ready or not, I am here.
Married to a man nearer to the grave than the altar
Wonder at the offence that sentenced me to this agony
I live my life by the dayPlan less, purposeless, reasonless, and futureless
His daily activities are my periodsA culture that severed me from my future,

Relieving parents of their responsibilityCan I ever love my children?
To bring forth children when I am equally a childThey are brought forth in sadness and agony
To be trained by others, due to my incapability
I cannot differentiate between umbilical cord and radio cord
Et toi papa, et toi mamaYou released me to an unknown future
Very sure of my widowhood before adulthood
Abrupt end to my childhood stage
Enduring sex, enjoying weepingSecretly awaiting my vesico vagina fistula
Praying daily that night would not come
Dawn brings darkness into my soulSentenced to a life of perpetual ignorance
I can neither read nor write
Although I recognise my father in a picturePeeping, waiting for mate to put my thoughts in letters
I dictate inner feelings could not wait in Dictation class
Looking for a writer at my age to dictate my intents
A child should be a child all over the world.I was made to jump two steps at a time
You expose me to things I could not comprehendMy duties exchanged for parental responsibilitiesYour burden became mine to carry at this tender age.
I know there is a government,
Even if it is a management one
I have a sister now she is twelve years oldParents are running out of patience
Basket of dowry or head of cow
No breast, no menstruation, no developmental growthAll these and more will meet at the old papas houseTo be traded for a dowry without her consent
The boys belong to the state during the warTo be recruited against their wish, is it only during the war?

YOUR LIGHT MY DARKNESS
I bear this pain alone, the pain of deceptionThe secrecy is excruciating
To carry a cross that is heavy by perceptionThe story of my life is infuriating
You were present at my conceptionNow, waiting silently for my extinction
My honour gradually desecratedDue to your lack of self control
You openly profess to cherishBetween you and I, a poison to my soul
How can my honour be reprieved?
When you continue your secret desecration
I cry to sleep, I fear to wakeYour presence a piercing dagger to my heart
The small secret world, a solace to my war
Your utterances venom to my soulMother cannot see though very naive
Life is slipping out of the girls hands
Crude and deceptive relative
Sacrificing trust at the altar of urges
A pervert in translucent skinThe revelation about you in little meWill surely send a saint to sheol
And a transparent soul to recession
Endurance comes to a halt today
Listen to the little secret on airRead your acts in the dailies
You opened me up, I open up todayThe gate opened for you time to eat beans
End of impunity

CHARACTERIZATION
There shall be a role callYour name inscribed on the innocent grave
Written in ashes on dead potentials resting placesCovered by the uncontrollable burning coal of lust
Your name shall not be written in goldFor you are perpetrators of evil deeds
You force a lad into a canal of lifeCompelled him to watch your mirror of indecency
Engagement in lustful exposureMasterminding kid porno and sexual expose
Your name is sprinkled in ashes
Fall in line on time
You who coerced an underageInappropriate brushing, unlawful caressing
Evil deeds done in darkness
All with unsuspecting lassesYou are sentenced to a chance of repentance
Your choice was eternal damnation
The secrecy of the acts
Recorded by invisible cameras
Relayed with unseen projectorsYour acts were transmitted liveBy the defender of the defenceless
Why the victims start while the acts end
For torturing a pure soul and conscience
Raping them in the presence of unsuspecting parentsHarvesting thorns and thistles
Offenders in uniform tagged defendersSecretly and threaten, destroying the defenceless
You have your rewards
Thus goes the first judgment
For defecating in the holy sanctuariesOpening fire on budding potentials
Splashing blood on emerging stars
You are turned to perpetual ashYour time up be prepared, first be unkitted

The hypocritical aid workers
Spreading AIDS like wildfireExchanging contributed aids with rape
Clouds can no longer cover thy acts
You are already turned to ashes
The lass is weeping, the lad is sobbingContinuously you wallow in shows
Shows o hero, shows of power, show of shame
Exploration of energy on boneless creaturesStand for all viewers to record your face
The deed is open, the cloud is gone
Your mother is here present
Continue in her presence, nurture meets natureThe world is watching continue in your act
My lord awaits your demonstrationsYour prowess with acts of threats
Watched by that judge, viewed by the conscience
Your threats before the deeds
Your gifts at the vow for revelationAll placed at the majestys feet
As we unravel the unsavoury deedsThis is my lordships verdict
Every child shall flee at your appearanceYour death a colossal waste
Your living: a perpetual reminderHenceforth your conscience is withdrawn
For it shall continually work against your stands
And your peace of mind substituted with fearWhile your goal shall be to be upright
Your heart shall undergo continuous racing
Women shall escape like slippery okra from your handInnocence shall elude youTill you repent genuinely in sackcloth
Tearfully, genuinely in true convictionUndoubtedly in heavenly ashes: Court Arise!

BECKON
Raped, battered and bitter
Feelings is of rejection and humiliation
They say it is ----------- disorderI feel dirty, used and spent
Nobody to turn to except me
There are choices for me
To live or to die, that is the questionTo die and not to relive those moments
Agonizing, traumatizing and killingLiving in my lonely and empty world
Nightmares the ruler of my new lifeThe rapist left a message
You demanded for it!I was sentenced before the judgment day
Why me? Why me? Why me?
Do I have the right to be me?
Do I have the right of choice?Can I choose who to or not to touch me?
Can I have a fair hearing?Who do I turn to?
Where did I go wrong?Who do I offend?
Who can I talk to?Where do I go from here?
Respond to the voice of my cry?
No answers to thousands of questions
Questions, questions begging for answersMy big secret is driving me crazy
My attacker is now a freemanA rapist let loose
How can you empathize with me?When all you do is ask questions again
How did he do it? Where did he do it?Reliving my nightmares in sentences
Or is it the open up and let me see?

And you called out, my dear come
Neither your fault nor your makingShe stretched the hand of love
I grabbed it in pain but relief came
She pulled me out of the mud
Laying my head on her shoulderReceiving love,Solace and relief
A needed succour in time of agony
My proceeds of healing and cleansingA chance to live my life to the fullest
She says, this problem must not linger
Normal to feel ashamed and embarrassed
Now better to talk my way into my healingI got the power to move on
Life is a gift, I must never loose it.
Talking about it now is soothing to my soulThe idea refreshed my body now
The support catapulted me, I came out better
I felt trauma syndrome and move onBelieving that, yes life is a precious gift.

NO ONE ELSE
Today I am in the room againMy daddy is doing it again
I begged again and againBut he showed me the gains
My mother is innocently knitting
My brothers in the dining
And I, am hittingHitting the bed
This is my story
An adult before being a girl
Raped and reaped by daddyMummy always engrossed in her knitting
Daddy says it is my duty
To ravage my little body
I must not reveal our little secretBecause the gods will kill me
Who will believe my story?
Father and daughter, who helps?
Sleepless nights and fearful days
And I call you my father!
I came to this world before my time
Who do I tell it was daddy?My friends say it is incest
I dare not say I am the victim
Everybody says it is an abomination
My daddy believes it is divinationI want to believe that it is my imagination
I will soon awake to the realization
I want to reveal my little secret
Will you believe me?Will you save me from my daddy?
I want to escape from my daddy

Help is not far awayStretch the hand, we are always near

MY TRAY
Mama sent us on hawking spreeNot knowing she is making us preyEverybody needs to pray
For we are now the game to play
We hawk vegetablesUncle called us that he is able
In obedience, trays placed on table
And he starts with his fables
Doggy doggy was watching a playInnocently we joined them in this place
Not knowing we are the target of this race
Our innocence is needed for a raise
Excitedly he handed two pounds to meA weeks hawking sales, given to me
Jumping happily into doggies arms
As it dugs into my time
Life is ruined, my time is spent
Few minutes the money is spentWhile I spend the rest of my days
In secrecy with uncles dog
My narration is strange and uglyBut this ordeal is not strange to us
We keep our deals to ourselvesWho will believe I lay with dogs
I am the victim and the only witnessHe is the rich and the perpetrator
Mama, the ignoramus and the spenderThe world a container that cannot contain our story

EXPERIENCE
Standing by his car was the beginning of the journey
He was so charming and ready to please meHis words were captivating and endearing
The invitation not a surprise but mamas advice supersedesAs I walk away with his smiles plastered on my heart
Lonely, reading and thinking, his smiles left a markIs it a mirage? Is he real? But education is supreme
Focus on the road mama reiterates, but his wordsHis promises and his actions they contradict mamas words
Tread softly she said, but his words makes my heart race
Sick on my wooden bed, he came with smiles and sweets
Begging to allow the transference of sicknessMy incapacitation hurts his heart, what incomparable love
That a man should be ready to die for me Oh dear meTears blurred my vision as his words sank into my heart
The visit changed my perception about mamas ideasWhole and hearty, I accepted his invitation
Paying the visit was a first time secret from mamaTo the church was the farewell, in his shop I headed
Love was what I thought was on display, hand in hand.
A cup of water and a bottle of beer, the end of smiles
Beautiful smiles turned into slaps. Quick successionsThe floor was the next point of call, vision blurred
Twinkling of an eye my cloth tore my life turned
He had his way thrice to his inordinate satisfactions
No farewell as I gathered my tattered ragsWhere do I go from here, brought the reality of my action
The world spins as the flashbacks bring memoriesMama waiting expecting the grace from Reverend father FrancisThe grace has turned to grabs as she drags the clothing
Who did this to my daughter, tears roll like thunder?
My mouth was gum still murmuring inaudible soundsYou asked for it was her confirmation of his words
How come they speak the same language?

Mama and the perpetrator, he was a fiend and mama?
Mama, why did I forget your ideas? Your archaic viewsNot all men are like fiend, but this is an eye opener
Silence is the friend of my fiend, a loop must break
Innocent girls are victims; my fiend will face the lawThe lawyers are novice, their questions are daggers.
Court, arise: what were you doing in fiends place?
How did you know you were raped? Substantiate
The evidence is rejected because the blood cannot be provedGoatees blood or fowls? Humiliation and counter humiliation
A mistake has been made, the process is simple they say.
Lack of substantial evidence sets fiend free
To a victim, the correct procedure: learn from meTo the police station, endure the interrogation
Obtain the report form, identify the recognized hospitalCheck in for medical examination, make a copy of report
To the police station again, submit the copy of report
Keep the original of the report, go home take care
Medication is compulsory, follow the doctors adviceVoluntary counselling is essential, do not forget
HIV testing is a must, perpetrators status is unknown.
Learn from me. Everyman is innocent except convictedMamas advice though archaic can save in time of troubleAnother mans wisdom saved the elders from being tagged mad
Fiend would meet his match if we all unite to fightThe right of women and children are rights too!

THE END
Everyone says it is endemic, yet burrowing deep
An evil perpetrated by close allyPresently, it has taken a new leap
Transcending into a global issue generally
Today, yes the victim is my child
Tomorrow, it may be your wardIn togetherness we build a shield
To protect this dying world
The generations unborn at risk
Contemporaries lives are unhealthySurvivors potentials become brisk
Perpetrators swim in nations wealth
Victims are keeping muteAt your quarters, there is silence
Abusers are becoming brutes
Pretending, progressing in your presence
Charged and convicted yet living in luxuryOf what use is this prison?
Survivors future lived in penuryStill we cannot reason
Of what value again is a life lived in depression?What use is a life in agony?
Why not let us be in retrospection
Put a full stop to this irony
Come together, reason togetherLaw breakers, law makers, policy makers
Conclude on ways on how to give herYes! Give her the original plan from her creator
Appointed posts are opportunity to serveVictims lives are in jeopardy
You now have the chance to preservePosterity will confirm your paddy

FORWARD MARCH
War against perpetrators all women and children say
Away with children molesters and to jail all hailThe united method with the whole populace the only way
The law is on our sides we all assemble and jointly prayThat all women and children are no longer preys
Listen to children and women who with one voice imploreThat the government of every country should deplore
And total combatant of words and action be employedTo fight against child pornography and unfold all ploy
To turn our children to untimely adult and sex toys
Singular efforts by interested individual avail much
Support from rulers and policy makers will upgrade suchAs there is little or nothing to get done if all wait and watch
The law enforcement can be the generalitys torchIf truly they are doing enough to support individuals much.
They are perpetrators, these same people we live with everydayJoint effort can eliminate and dissuade the behavioural ray
So that the perpetrator will be healed from his predator hayThe predator lives in the perpetrator, pushing him in disarray
His actions can be controlled if he realizes his days will be in jail
Freedom to perpetrators is freedom to aborted futures
Perpetrator thrive in silence because of victims fearVictimizations, stigmatization and mostly fear of fair hearing
All these and more jointly connive to destroy innocence
And the beauty this is also the end of our acts.

YOUR WORLD
Day before yesterday, it was a six month old was rapedYesterday, the turn of a two year old girlToday, the case of a four year old boy that was reaped
Tomorrow it might be the turn of my baby girl!
The way they happen in quick succession
The manner perpetrators enjoy the successThe outcome of our laws and its perception
Makes me wonder if we had settled for less
Your life is in your own handsEither believe it or leaveWhatever you do is imprinted on sand
We are free to choose how we live
Living a life bound to destroy others
A life lived to destroy potentialsEngaging in activities that flaw orders
And make inordinate acts essential
Why should I ask if it were you?
When you had molested your own bloodEqually silent while being molested even at youth
And would not come clean from the mud
How else do you want us to implore?
Who else do you want us to now employTo break this chain of this act we deplore
So that we can jointly destroy your ploy
Think carefully before taking the next step
Childrens obedience mistaken for acceptanceTheir trusts you deceitfully used as traps
But your deeds are forever in their remembrance
Life is better lived when head is clean and clear
Secrecy in those acts show the negativityBefore those acts think of God and future
Stop and imagine the outcome of the activity.

GENERATIONAL
Todays children are queer I cannot imagine their ideas
In the olden days, it was much better, life was goodYou can trust your child to a neighbour or a friendNowadays the perpetrators are the familiar strangers
Jet age accompanied by strange innovations
Daily emergence of new vocabularies and criminality
What can we make of a father impregnating the daughter?Christen my son Reverend father: his father is abroad
No father, my daddy is lying, he fathered my son and I
Yes it is normal; your father is also the father of your sonThe difference is just that, he is now the sons grandfather
No Reverend daddy puts me in the family way.
Oh it reminds me of Noah and the daughters
Nothing is really new but the angle at which we watch,The words we coin for it and our acceptance
As it is in the West, so it is in the East
Noah lived when there were no other women
If the world is filled with more women than menWhat attractions kept my father glued to me?
In the presence of my never believing mother
He bite the budding breast in uncontrollable passion
Bed turned to hell on earth, unbearable yet incredibleIf he cannot have me no one else would!
My natural beauty, he turned to ashes
How can I connive with father and mother?
In deception that the father of my son is abroad
When he is standing shamefacedly beside meI have no heart, how can I forgive anyone of them?
To keep silent and rot in shame and guilt
Deceiving an innocent son that his father is abroadIn later years that his father died in the war or what
Let the world know today, my father is also my sons father

WHO ARE YOU?
Some people call me child molester
Others prefer to refer to me as child abuserWhichever name you settled forAs long as the reference is made to me
I am the perpetrator, the destroyer of potentials.
My explanation: ignorantly you approved my action
Operationally, I thrive in secrecy and silenceInnocent children cooperate with this silence
Due to uninformed decisions and lack of illumination
These make your environment welcoming and warm
Abundant knowledge on where to thrive keeps me goingEspecially in that your too busy environment
Always engaged with no time to educate these children
Education is light your sage says, your little ones in darknessIgnorant is never an excuse for violating the laws of God
I love your home mademoiselle, so cosy and comforting
Where all your days are spent in the beauty salon
Little or no time for sex education to help the childrenAll you do is send them to uncle and aunts
Where they pick half baked information on crucial matters
What of your cute home, my ever busy office schedule darling?Where age-appropriate sex education is strange though essential
Car spare parts are explicitly explained, in no time the kids drive
Yet human body parts are shroud in secrecy, this drives me crazy!Strange names given to private parts make exploration easier
The African environment is well nourished for me to blossom
With ever blind obedience and unbelievable respect for adults
There I can easily confuse the little ones that rights are wrongNo child challenge wrong elder, age never come with wisdom
Their children rots in absolute secrecy and depression
I will not forget my United States America, the men and women
A place where the solution to all problem is on the internetI solicit the childrens cooperation through their internet
I used their net as the dragnet to penetrate into their homes

To catch the young, vulnerable and healthy looking innocents
Some homes are cool and inviting, yet I thrive thereinBecause the childrens opinions are inconsequential
Which are neither sought, trusted nor believed
Even when these children voice their fear about meThe parents wave them off with back hands
I deceive the children that it is our own little game
Have you ever taught your children the types of games?
When all you have time for is meeting the deadline in the officeTime for works that must be submitted every morning
For salaries that would not be enough for family therapist soon
At the war zones come and watch my incomprehensible acts
I seek avenue for war veterans to remain adamant to reasonsPlight of the defenceless become of no consequence
As I ravage privacy of women, ladies and childrenMostly in the presence of their fathers and Young men
My acts are innumerable: always leaving indelible marks
In the lives of innocent, unsuspecting and gullible children
Who are then looking up watching if mama would please detectThen you were too busy to watch these acts under your nose
And save those agonising cute ones from my claws.
I saw your efforts, know your house; I do not knock or enterYour head befuddled with CSA fact and figures in the societyAlways an important source of information for children and adults
An accurate and perfect source of expectation for teenagersLiving a life worthy of emulation and a model for young ones
You are unforgettable real mothers, how can I ignore you?You frustrate all my hard work to penetrate into your abode
Blocking avenues I carefully created through sexuality educationSpeaking openly against me in my presence yet I cannot reply
Your daily activities are putting the potential abusers on edge
Those actions about mutual learning endangers my life
How can I function perfectly when at the civic centres?The way forward on prevention of CSA is the agenda
Ways to curtail incessant recurrence is the first on agendaHandbills, posters about CSA the AOB before closing prayer

I dare not forget your alertness, agility and being proactiveAlways prompt to spot the behavioural or emotional symptoms
The red flags are known to you like the palm of your hands
Always feeling jittery at your appearance and presenceQuiet during your validation, fleeing at your manifestation
My pretence has no hold on you; you spot me by my actions
You got acquainted with all my tactics the more I explore
As your keen interest and involvement on CSA mattersSet you above your kith and kin and all in the community.
If they all are like you, I would have no place of abode
Your involvement, support and financial assistance to the fight
Curtail my activities and expose my malevolence deedsThe time and resources donated by you prevent my furtherance
Prevention programs, advocacy and rape crisis centresAre more or less gags to my mouth and future
No one knows that my death and end is near except you
Daily I ruminate over the decline in decline in my health
The more the programs the more I shrinkEspecially in countries where policies on CSA are enacted
And survivors are forever revealing my secrets.
Do not join me, never indulge in my activitiesMy life is full of sorrows, regrets and shameEmotionally, I am a wreck; I need healing and can survive
From my character that my seeds must not inheritI advise all perpetrators to quit and seek healing
Revelation of my secrets> to parents firstTrust should not influence your decisions about
My victims parents trusted me than their instinctsTo social workers, I shrink at CSA organised programs
Government policies are lethal to my system now

NEED A ROPE
I am a house wife who loves her choresMy daughter loves to write with chalkWhenever I am less busy I face my stall
While my little daughter faces the wall
These are times she writes with her chalks
A fateful day, I sent her to write on the wallWhile I face my business in my small store
Selling, at the same time watching out for her
Suddenly I heard scream, jumping to meet her
To my utter chagrin, she drips with blood
What happened? She could neither talk nor explain
A two year old girl dripping with blood in pain
To the police station I head as I wailWhile my eldest son was at my stall to wait
He had all the gory tales but afraid to relay
At the end of the day I heard the story
My baby daughter was raped by TonyShe strayed into the neighbourhood was given chalk
He brought a slate and taught her with a chalkAll of a sudden the teaching turned another story
The narrative was done by my four year old boy
Blame was on me not detecting Tonys ploy
What should I do after buying her all toys?May be I should tie her leg to my store
Nonetheless I wait for justice at the court

NARRATOR
About to start again to tell the storyAs I used to do to everyone that visitsExplaining on how, who when and where
And the sympathy or empathy begins
Thinking they put themselves in my shoesBut I discovered their acts and I kept silent
For they slipped their leg in and out at onceBefore itching and pain start they flee
How can I escape from my own shoes?
He that wears it know where it pinches
And they that put the feet to feelRemoves their feet for fear of how it feels
Your words brought me out of stream of thought
The hug accompanied brought lasting warmthWhile your palm was placed on my shaking lips
Brought an end to all the usual explanationsSpeak no words, do not bother, I understand
How will I speak, when my mouth is covered?
For the first after the unfortunate incidenceI saw someone interested in me and not the tale
How come all that have been coming are not like you?And save my precious breath from tales of woe
And the racing heart and blood from achesAnd my failing sight from an unending tears.
Professionalism meets understanding and care
My needed support and strength in times like thisFor the fist time I felt being raped was an avenue
To feel real, genuine and reality of humanity
The need to have someone around so closeWho can and will shoulder and shelter in danger
You took me far away from my pains and sorrowThough it happened yet it lessens my grief
Forgiveness of self became easier and possible
As I understand everything better bye and byeWho needs a vision blurred by weeping from pity?
Or my innocent blood destroyed by self in this city

As all children healed shine like stars
While perpetrators as deterrent are behind barsTo hinder the activities that futures mar

For as achievers the sky is not so highAnd we gallop in life on happy ride
In new world created where we live free and fairThrough your unrelenting effort that knows no bound

JUDGEMENT
Even after all what resulted from my ignoranceThe agony, pains, all night cries that followedThe feelings that are of shame, despair and regret
In all these and more, even about your verdictsThere was a little portion that kept on saying
You are strong and can survive against all odds
The happening brought down my self-esteem
To deny was easier but each day brought realityEvery word from man reminds me of the actuality
Opening my eyes to daybreak, I wake from my dreamDaily I wish I could relive life and turn the clock back
But deeply inside of me, I believe I did my best.
The world collapsed with the wall of my protection
Exposed, unprotected and powerless to my adversaryThe voice travelled less and my strength ended abruptly
Decisions and more decisions that could not defend me
Later on, I became free thinking of thousands of way outNow I relax, retrospect and agree that I did all I could
Though power failed and muscle became undependable
The brain befuddled with a lot of solutions and escapeActually I have learnt of the powerful tactics and training
Read about the way of escaping and breaking free butRealised that easier said than done until faced with reality
In all these I know and believe: I could not have done better
To you, if it were you, your power and tactics would pave way
It was me, and my power and strategy did all they could
In whatever situation, I am through, with a new strengthA new beginning, a new life, a new way of thoughtCame out a better informed person with strange abilities
Ready to forgive self and others, as life goes on. Yes

MY CRAVING
On the road to our farmWhere my father cultivated
The land so large and greenThe biggest farm in the world
Owned by the biggest father
How I wish his heart is dearest
Placing me on his shoulderThe only place I can view all
Happily and joyfully but sadly
With the secret grief in meThat this may be normal adore
Wishing its love with no deceit
On my daddys huge shoulderWhere I feel the pangs of pain
Unexpected dip of his finger
Into my private painful placeThe source of uncontrollable tears
Wishing father would once be real
Oh precious father with double faceEndearing soul while all are presentFearless and Fairless when we are alone
But when with me, you are not a fatherWho will believe my shocking story?
When I wish it were all thoughts
Mother ahead with fruit basket
Brother singing with bunch of woodBig sister with load of tubers
Who has time for a little sister?Who has a jolly ride on shoulder?And her wishy-washy wishes
I wish my people be eagle-eyed
Sharp enough to feel with meThat fathers huge shoulder
Where I pretend to have a jolly ride

Is full of thorn, thistles and painWill you have a ride to know my father?
UNBELIEVABLE
Today I overheard my motherInstructing uncle: be gentle with herBe careful with her, she is growing fast
I am in wonderland with wonderful people
The strange ordeal I kept from mother
To avoid destroying their family tiesNow I discovered that mother is involved
Why are you doing this to me, mother?
What is my mother exchanging me for?What can be between mother and my uncle?
I suffer solely in silence and secrecy
Mother is really exchanging my joy for what
Imagine the damage to me: your childIncapable of understanding implications
Just because of trust and innocence
And all your rules of obey before complain
I am a child who is alone in a busy worldIn which nature would not allow to reason
And decipher the deceit in mankind
Actually, the deceit is explicitly revealed to Him
Think about the betrayal of hope and trustFrom someone so close and inseparable
You have chosen not to control emotion
When it is in your capability if you wish
This world is so beautiful and endearing
Yet you turned it into a hell for oneThat looked up to you for more than thisAnd expects the best from lustful confidant

DECEIT
When I look at your eyesIn comparison with your actionsI agree with the almighty God
For regrets after creating men
The smiles on your gentle face
Reassurance from your utterancesThe smoothness of your palms
The realization of Eden came to me
Can you correlate fathers fine fingersWith the secret digital penetration
What of the soothing touch?
With the recurrent accidental brush
Oh Dear father, with all my heartMy trust and my innocence
Do I beg you to lie side by side
French hug with accidental kissing
Compulsory show you involved me inWhat of the accidental bathroom bumps?
Your innumerable peeping in my room
And the terrible tuck in at middle of nights
I live in a world of secrecy and silenceWhere mother places finger on lips
You must not utter it, it is a sacrilege
My world is definitely different from yours
How can you do this to your child?
Who can neither desist nor defendWhile the world around enjoy the secrecyOur mothers encourage the silence

SAFE AND SOUND
The safest place I dwell all alone
Where neither foe nor fake friendsCan intrude the thought of a childThe precious moments with no hurts
The best place to live and be calmThe sweetest abode so strange
In the company of unique peaceAnd I forever wish it would be endless
A place I can display my best
Where painful secrets are forgottenIf it is only for a moment, yet in peaceBut then your pretence has no place
Where I can picture the peace I desireThere I can exist in a world I deserve
A place I enjoy the rare peace of mindDenied by your ever present deception
The harmony ceaselessly crave though deprivedCan only be envisaged in my inner mind
Where your existence is perpetually prohibitedAnd my serenity is absolutely guaranteed
Driven away from the world of reality
But I must exist with peace in my heart
Where mans deceit cannot be toleratedInner being gave the optimism for survival
A world created by force, though I enjoy it
I can create even if in illusion, yet real to me
A place I cannot be molested, abused or coercedWhile everyone pretends that childs world is best

PASSAGE
The mountains so glorious in beauty
Contrast to the gush of water on the seas
The sky so beautiful and blue is the best
While the leaves green as they blossom
The flowers they bear, colourful in splendour
As they manifest the works of perfect match
The sun is shining in glory with radianceIncomparable to the snow in coolness
The fruits and crops come in their due seasons
And all the numerous animals as games for life
The architect of all creatures in His expertise
Created all these and more for our pleasure
The creation of mankind is to rule over all
And these creatures we enjoy effortlessly
But you limit my existence to an isolated worldBecause you cramped me in a world of dreams
You trivialize the beauty in nature works to meFor my vision is distorted by unending tears
Tears of pain inflicted upon me by the motive
Of your secret closeness to explore my tiny body
The body you have ravaged in the presence of all
Yet nobody knows what I am passing through
Can someone cleverly cast a look at this channel?To discover the secret agony underneath the false smiles

MY BODY
It is a gift that is why it is called me
It belongs to me, so I have absolute powerOver who can should and will touch me
I have privacy, because it is absolutely mineNot yours, to touch or behold without permission
How can I hand over my power to you without fear?
How can I overpower, when my rein is in your handHow can I reign if the reign is used as the bait?
But it is my body, my person, my glory and my all
Millions of us are in secret, silent and seduced world
If we are opportune, we will be far away from youYour hands, your touch, your beliefs and hypocrisy
What a world? What a life? What a situation?But today, a reawakening occur and I step out
To possess, to take control to overpower the powerThat held me down, powers that strike my will dead!
It is my right; it cannot be withdrawn, cos I AM ALIVE
Once I was dead, because you held my willpower
Your power could not hold me captive any longerI am stirred to a new righteousness, new self
A bright new arousal from deep slumberTo reclaim the sanity I was separated fromb
