1. STOP FEMALE GENDER MUTILATION – FEMALE CIRCUMCISOIN!!!
in this poem as you read you will you will see these words
Hooyo - mother
Maano - sweetie
Haram – dirty, unacceptable or not right
Khat – a plant which when is chewed it gives a euphoric feeling
sura - prayer or chapter from the koran
I wrote this poem for someone very special in my life,
and I also dedicate this poem for all those women by the end you will know who you are!!!
from when I woke things weren’t right
hooyo was acting overly nice
from chasing me with knives
to giving me pleasant smiles
that day was the first time you smiled at me
innocents you sparked in me but at the end
a frown on your face was all I would see
as you say maano come this way please
and In my mind thought what cold it be,
at the time I didn’t know what to do to please,
she took me in room full of disease
forced me on the floor thats unsanitary
6 women ready explained whats about to happen to me
at that moment I understood nothing,
other then me being forced down on the ground for something,
you see at the time I didn’t realise
that in my culture girls are getting circumcised
before I had time to try and rage
the local circumciser was there with the rusty razor blade
I couldn’t move like i'm stuck in chains
and at the time I was approximately only 8
2. before I had time to take a breath
I could feel this woman cutting into the flesh
a big thing I remembered was what hooyo said
I want everything gone between the legs
so while i'm being held from my toes to my neck
I felt so helpless I couldn’t move an inch
more then the clitoris and labia
were completely cut off and then sewn together
your left with a hole where nothing can enter
this practice is ridiculous they sewed the urethra
and when this practice is finally complete
your tied from your waist down to your feet
with no medical attention your left for a week
your surrounded by flies and left on your side to pee
when the celebration ended everyone left
on my own in a hut no mum to caress
but I knew all along she couldn’t care less
her proudness nearly put her baby to death
this isn’t culture just enslaved tradition
in islam only the men get circumcision
and this was started to protect from infection
certain men flipped the sura to change the perception
and infect a part of the nation
to convince them this is in the Koran's statements
I think the real reason behind all this
was women were an object and didn’t exist
they would only bear kids and are promiscuous
men got paranoid and cut off they bits
the things you are told when you are young
if you don get circumcised men think your haram
they don’t want your daughter or to give you a son
cause men think you will go through everyone
and if your've been circumcised on you your wedding night
he gets a kind of knife inserts it inside than pull it upright
picture this now you have an open wound
then this man want to have sex with you
its like being stabbed every thrust and move
and the more she bleeds shows her virginity through
they don’t think of the damage it can do
thousands of woman die and this is true
but it sexist and barbarism still continues
this cycle of this cult needs to be defused
I had so much damage beyond believe
I praise to allah doctors were sent to me
they undid the damage but not completely
I look perfect compares to others that i've seen
I had many tears years and operations
but nothing takes away the trauma I was faced with
my daddy said firmly I done want it done
but my mother did it behind his back when he was gone
and when he come back he didn’t know how to act
cause it was done my father ignored the fact
3. that wasn't all as girl I had to deal with
instead of playing with all the other kids
I was tied down at home feeding siblings
hooyo made me clean and would give me kicks
if she caught me for that second when I would sit
she'd beat me severely with the nearest stick
lucky I was young and could run quick
unless she paid saxane to catch and tie my wrists
even before this I was mentally sick
I didn’t relate to what the custom is
cut the clitoris the women wont be promiscuous
it makes you the perfect woman to bear kids
without pleasure in this with no sexual bliss
then cover up the woman to oppress
take away her voice so she cant express
allah said life should be lived limitless
but some choose not to follow his foot steps
they’re usually obsessed with notions they press
spread ideology to make things correct
but their correct way of life was only stuck in their head
so then many girls are turned into slaves
the men have the sex while the girl is in pain
at 7 years of age she taught to sexually embrace
men that could be more than double her age
the circumcised woman is what motivates
a line of men to buy her cause the parents groomed her for rape
forced to have kids and that she is made to raise
while the men are drinking tea and chewing khat all day
she could be pregnant and hasn’t healed yet
but your forced to walk miles for water buckets
with a baby on her back she thinks fuck it
but the conditioning of tradition forces them to have it.
