Women Poem by Tony Adah

Some women sit and gaze at the world
After the kitchen chores
And laze about with brows of eyes and lips
Shining in hues of sheens
Blinking at a fizzing beer;
Life is full of chops and drinks
And some women laze-gaze
At the work full of enjoyment.
We brought them pain as they bore us
In their wombs and spilling us like vomit
They cuddle as children;
We come of age
And common sense and respect says
No scathing remarks about our bearers
So we live happily with them
Because they're our mothers.
