If you strike women, you strike Angels

 

                     Wathint’abafazi  wantint’ imbokodo?

                  Bay’bamba ishisa, iqinile njegogodo?

                  You strike women you strike a rock!

             The crafting of mother-earth from crust to the core,

               The sweetest of neon flaunt flowers we adore

                               Need I say more?

I see fire blazing from the smiles you attire upon hearing the same old phrase

                           You strike women you strike a rock.

The rock, the same impediment miners crack, crush and dispose as concrete

In search of what they consider more valuable and precious,

                      Gold, Platinum and crude oil they say.

 

I was not planted, blood and flesh coated from a mere rock within which exist no womb

                             There for I am not a follower,

            I am not a believer of the saying, you strike women you strike a rock

              But if you are a believer, take a Bee and imagine its liver

                    And see how insulting and belittling can you be,

                             As small as a BEE-LIVER

I agree with your logic. Woman are the mother of our children. They are wives, dear mother and grandmother. If you don't honor the woman. You dishonor life. Powerful and good words. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

I love the title... it is a moving message.. the poem itself gives you a different perspective and way of looking at it... overall pretty good sir... some of the phrasing and ideas had me scratching my head, but it made me think, if that was the intention, then I say you accomplished it... With a title like that one, was really hoping for more emotion dripping on the page, but it is a very good message my friend...

[Sibusiso Xtdo Gama]
