THE AFRICAN WOMAN
Though dark in complexion
But not in intentions
Her serene-like heart
Is a key to all hearts
Customs and traditions placed her under subjection
With folks she relates in conjunction
She toils and serves
Just to conserve
Recent campaigns of awareness
Has brought to limelight her tenderness
Her manner of simplicity
Is a show of cordiality
From childhood she was exposed to hardship
With adverse conditions in citizenship
Her abilities suffer limitations
In every sphere of exploitation
Today she is being empowered
To put on the armour of power
Free from social injustice and emancipation
Should be an Africa woman’s anticipation
Her obsession and love for motherhood
Has been a precept for womanhood
Without which her matrimonial culture
Would suffer from more conjugal torture
