Can a Lioness hurt her cubs?
Pluck their eyes, to save them from predators?
Can I really love and hurt?
If true love doesn't hurt, then why?
How different are these from Monkeys?
This is but an animal kingdom
Y'all should be sacrificed to the gods

Even Jupiter is dismayed
By these callous acts of mutilation
Filled with barbarism, rooted in ignorance
Who cursed Africa? Please tell me
That we may make atonements
And to say but the least
This happens, somewhere in Africa

If I were the Commander-In-Chief
I'll put you on a boat, sailing to nowhere
Make you a spectacle, an amusement to the crew
And cast you to yonder place down below
A feast for "Iye Moja" and her cohorts
Anyone who disrupts a natural course
Is to be banished amongst human

Leave our mammary glands and get a life
Whenever you exert pressure on her *******
With your hot pestle and iron
The beast in you manifest like a female Baboon
What shall it profit you flattening my *******
From which cup will my generation ****?
Education is the reason you wallow in ignorance

When did you ever teach me about sexuality
If hurting me is your way of making me unattractive
Will you also flatten my boisterous ***?
Or seal the city of pleasure between my legs
As ugly as a jungle Monkey is
Does it ever tire of making love?
****** harrassment and education is key
If you want to raise morally upright girls

If this inhuman procedure leads to complications
I'll never forget and forgive you my love
This is evil under the sun, somewhere in east Africa
Ignorance is not a reason for stupidity
Say "No" to to all of them
Stop all forms of culturally acceptable ****** harassment
Africa, wake up! Education is the key!
I'm an Advocate...
