there is no reason for a little girl to be mutilated and shamed for a desire we all possess
there were opportunities for self-discipline and self-control to be taught, but they chose violence instead
how?
how can this be purity or a cleanse?
a child left with scars and pain before she can even speak up or comprehend
it is a complete violation of human rights
derived from fear, myths, misogyny, and lies
you can’t tell that little girl she is whole when a part of her has died
this is not protection
it is a cruel act to suppress, punish, and control
it’s the kind of evil where you keep it on the low
no child should be punished for curiosity,
or for questioning those natural feelings that arise
you may think that lust is a sin, but this is no way to treat a human life

They sharpen the knife
Not to shape my life
But to make me someone's wife
That will lead to a strife
They want to bleed me dry
They don't care if I cry
They are not even shy
To push my legs wide open,why?
The scars will last till eternity
Have I mentioned infertility
My ****** will now be with great difficulty
What about the infections due to increased susceptibility
I once had a dream of marrying Abdul Bhula
But because of the risk of obstetric fistula
How can a woman not have a child and be a ruler
Then she will cry having conversations with God in a Dua
If they care
Let them not dare
To do the same to my sister Leah
I know the pain she can't bare
To silence the voices inside my head
This practices must be dead
For our daughters to live happily wed
We have to forget the outdated practices of the dead

El Nino, the jokes go, is responsible,
to be levied our distaste. What a
disgrace, they're putting a Hispanic
face on 1998's over a 100,000 killed
by supposedly natural disasters. Now
Nina, naming her the cause of world
drought, global warming, which the
technocracies' altering weather cycles
determined. Their greed makes lies
fly as truth, can your convenience,
in allowing them to do it, further?
This while they enjoy unparalleled
short-term profits, paid for in real
deficits, brought by their murdering of
eco-systems, our progeny will pay a
thousand times those delusional
profits to repair, unsuccessfully. That
unending river of humanities' blood
will soon take billions of poor to
middle class lives before the extinction.
Still, every second over an acre of
rainforest is felled, every three a
woman is castrated, a child dies, and
only 50 % of us bother to vote!
Still, we don't have real compassion
for ourselves or others. If no real
changes will take place now, then
when, if not here, where, you, who?

There, I wrote it. Above.
I simply believe it needs to be in print... out there, so to speak,
And perhaps a few hundred may read, ********
And, hysterically, or in solace,
Make use of it;
Openly, lingusly or fingeratively,
As we do ***** ****** and ******* (tsk-tsk).
Whether you agree or not, please yourself.

Circum/stances (slash) foregone
circumvent forebears
circus-schisms of the forefathers
circumferences foreordained . . .
Abrahamic inferences
Feminine foreclosures
Unfabulous infibulations
Equivocating equivalencies . . .
Childbearing foreborne
Preposterous paradigm
Gender agenda return to sender
Hebraic / Pharaonic / Moronic . . .
Abracadabra
Presto change-o !

Tightening vines about a blossoms throat,
Choking roots, entwined:
Preventing the dew to soak.
Burning butterfly wings,
Mutilating the ones with flowers.
There's no song to sing,
To relieve big hands from power.
