AN X-RAY TO OUR TRADITION
That mundane story untold,
of how our unmarried maidens grow old.
Caged by man's tradition.
Bondaged by her own societal perception.
O'yes!
It is the long list in Etinan,
that have scared many from the land.
Tell me now who made this traditional laws?
and i will completely expose it flaws.
That outdated fabricated tales,
of how our daughters are now put on sales.
Doomed by human ethics.
Crushed by man's derelict.
O'yes!
It is the cow tradition in Nsit Atai,
that have sent many men away like flies.
Tell me now who made this evil decree?
So i can openly declare to our maidens 'be free'.
That Adamic farcical believes,
of how our beautiful ones are deceived.
Hurt by man's own principles,
now; the so many facial wrinkles.
O'yes!
It is the goat policy in Ukanafun,
just for our elders to have fun.
Tell me now who made this policies?
and i will cry aloud 'it is mere heresies'
That 1880s and 1990s conception,
of how our sisters die in frustration.
Stigmatized by men's own craftings.
Ostracised by her own giftings.
O'yes!
It is the this and that in Itu.
List carefully divided into two.
Tell me now who passed this bill?
And i will convincingly say 'it's out to kill'
Oh!! Nigeria
