Please Dont'

From the cascading waters of Gateba
Down the hills of Tumutumu
A beauty was born
A joy to the parents
A joy to the neighbours
A joy to the village

An intelligent beauty
A beauty riled by people obscene treatment to life
She considered it obnoxious
Nobody could tell what next if she only knew

She had seen young lives terminated
She had tried to imagine the agony
She could not stand the thoughts for long
She hoped to put a stop to it.

You may call it irony
but even with all her efforts
she had no idea of her past
her past in the womb
her mother almost sent her to the tomb
she was a result of an assault

She had seen the wire there
so close to getting to her heart
she fought to escape unhurt
causing the mother a lot of hurt
she could bear it no more
she had to live with it
for so long as she would live

her cry
to give it no try
her fight
to have to survive
her call
to put an end to the madness
please don't
all that is from her mouth
its is a no no to kill.
