THIS BOYCHILD
Have you visited the prison yard lately?
Have you visited the hospital to see accident victims?
Have you gone to the court of law to see who's been judged?
Only if the boychild has been shown maximum Love.
A slap to his face is a mere rebuke
A slap to her face is like you committed a mini-murder
Am not juxtaposing both gender
I'm only wondering if the boychild is less human
He stares too long at her and it's all lust to you
She stares at him long enough to watch a movie on Netflix and its just ...you say " maybe she's stressed"
Boys like us had dreams like Joseph had
Father gave us Bible names like David,Samson, and the rest
But along the line, our parent lost interest in us
They think we are perfect and we have everything figured out
"He's a boy,he should not be in any danger"
"He's a superman"
"Its good for a boy to be stubborn" they say
But when reverse is the case
This Boychild
To make it through life
We get to defend ourselves all the days of our life
We wish mother would buy clothes for us like she buys for our sisters
We wish mother would buy us shoes like she buys for her daughters
We are made to define and furnish our world
Alas, not everyone becomes the architect of his own life
Some sink why some float
Why do no one talk about our difficulties
We do have agonies
We do have nightmares
We do get assaulted
Yet no one takes on our side
We then turn to mini-Rebels
The Hitler's and the Osama's
Then they would start to pray
Just that, its too late.
Happy birthday Ajayi Augustine
