Naked And Not Ashamed Poem by Iquo Umoh

Tomorrow the princess becomes queen
She will have her own palace
And have her servants at her call
She will have her lord and master
And he shall be her king
She shall stand before him
Naked and not ashamed

Tomorrow the daughter becomes mother
She will have a home
And her children ‘round her call her "Mama"
She will have her provider and protector
And he shall love her as husband
She shall stand before him
Naked and not ashamed

Tomorrow the sister becomes friend
She shall have a companion beside her
And have cordiality in her smile
She will have her confidant and counselor
And he shall guide and comfort her as friend
She shall stand before him
Naked and not ashamed
