Child and Women Abuse by Ngozi Olivia Osuoha
Nigerian poet Ngozi Olivia Osuoha writes on abuse of women and children
Children are gifts, special gifts
They bear talents and dreams
Lineages hook and line along them
Posterity anchors on them.
We kill them by actions and inactions
Abusing lives and misusing gifts,
We keep them far from peace.
We bring war carefully
And crush them carelessly
Mess them up for pleasure
Ruining futures carelessly and carefully.
Abuses, curses, and fates
Barricading hopes and love
Silencing peace and unity
Demarcating the world.
Children see hell, before being sent to hell
Women taste hell before trekking to hell
The world just hurts.
But we can keep them safe
Develop and love them better,
Children and women are lovely
Great gifts from nature
Beautiful treasures to be cherished
Yet we harm them cruelly.
