MY HEAD IS NOT CALM

Art work by Muhammad-Taha Ibrahim

My head is not calm right now.

The misogyny we all allow

Makes our men behave anyhow

Dem talk say na by force women must bow or they'll be treated worse than cows.

Because according to them, na their right wey God endow.

Chaos dey online and group chat

Men dey trample on woman verbally like say na combat, and later dem go go carry prayer mat

After behaving like person wey no get heart

Treating my girlies worse than house rat

I'm so freaking mad.

This world is gradually going from mild good to bad.

My head is not calm right now. Rapists at large

Child marriage perpetuators in charge

Sexism dey enlarge, while female genital mutilation na free of charge. 

Omo! na gender based violence back to back 

Limited access to education dem no dey slack

Culture and religion play a huge part

God Almighty, abeg take charge.
