She

poem by: Mushobozi Baitani
Written on Mar 22, 2021

1.	She wanted to keep it
It would be hard she knew
Eight months were due
And this was a scare

2.	For if her father found out
If he ever knew
He’d serve her oil for stew
So say she’d never dare

3.	And he who she had
Didn’t have enough but few
Too little to see them through
Too little to even care

4.	So she went to him
Young with no clue
 Lips pale and blue
With lice in her hair

5.	With terror in her eyes
Seeing the loathsome view
Knives, hooks and screws
She shook in despair

6.	She said if she survived
That he seal her with glue
So she’d be new 
And never again pair

7.	So he spread her
And in went the steel 
Straight for the kill
And it was done

8.	 A bit too sharp it was
 A bit too big for her fill
She screamed to appeal
Till she faded like the sun

9.	The silence was noisy
The bodies couldn't feel
 The bodies lay still
 She died with her son

10.	 And news was out
He who abused his skill
He who caused the blood spill
Was out on the run

11.	 And he who she had had
Had written his will
Then took a pill
 And his shame was shun

12.	  So there we were
The ground stained with death
Innocent blood on the earth
This she shouldn’t have done

13.	 But Man is but dust
To decompose our fate
For judgment we wait
To rejoice or to burn




14.	 She saw the lord
Basking in glory
She was so sorry
For what she had done

15.	 A path she was shown
It was dark to see
She wished she could flee
There was nowhere to run

16.	 barefooted she was
And the path was metallic
With demons cephalic
With teeth like knives

17.	. And the metal was heated
 Embedded with nails
Here  where pain prevails
She was doomed to survive

18.	 And it pierced her legs
 Every step a reminder
Of the blades stuck inside her
When she hoped to stay alive


19.	 One for each month
The demons  were nine
Sucked her blood like wine
And rejoiced in harmony

20.	 Upon the path of the damned
Heading towards  dantes inferno
Where sufferings eternal
She felt her childs agony.


21.	 upon the path she saw him
Hell hounds tearing his flesh
On his neck a sharp copper mesh
         Being pulled towards the fire

22.	  There he and other fathers
Who had forsaken their women
Were drowned in hot semen
And made to struggle to respire



23.	  The horrors she witnessed
All for the sake of the unborn
Left her heart torn
And let out a cry so wild

24.	  And there she shed tears
Some for her soul
Some for us all
Lest we rob life of an unborn child
