Nigerian Female Genital Mutilation Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

My God, they are sinning against
And You marking them all silently,
Sinning against man and humanity
An You just a silent spectator of all that
Which the womankind is ashamed of.

O God, say You, say you,
When will the world get rid of
These sinners,
Against man and womankind,
All those satanic forces,
Devils and demons!

The plight of the Nigerian girls,
Who to see, who to see, God,
Injustice and torture subjected to,
Cruelty and inhuman treatment,
O God, why did You let them do,
Were there no humanists in the country to oppose
The monstrous system?

I shudder at when I think of
The small-small Nigerian girls
And their torture,
Their pain and cruelty
And I doubt
Whether the perpetrators
Were men or animals?

Had they been men, they could not have,
Had they been human and humane,
Had they been,
The sons of some mother
Born from the same womb,
Had they been?
