Not As You Think Poem by Husna Chikwela

Not As You Think



To be circumsised, can't give self control,
Are not true bellieves, they play in secret,
Loose allot of blood, and become affected,
Without doing it, you can be respected.

Killing of Albinism, in order to become rich,
You enjoy for moment, life become short,
Causes foe trouble, family become disappear,
Why don't you struggle? You decrease hurd workers.

Hiding material, copying in they exams,
You can't perform, studying Without free,
Its better to try, than to be fail,
Why don't you discuss? It breaks thinking capacity.

To be and leader, you can't improve life,
You mis use of resourcess, villagers are not developing,
What Are you getting? Even your family is suffering,
Why don't you respinsible? In order to be gracefull?

To beat and burn, child can not be protected,
Loose allot of energy, you end by suffering,
Child will afraid home, do things by hate,
Teach her by showing, will love it most.

Wearing for fassion, discourage mind of others,
They discuss of you, and not be respected,
If they come to you, What will you braim?
Why don't you wear safe? You bring some emotion.

Something which is true, can not be hiding,
Silance for moment, you stay by wondering,
Just speak it before, than problem become more,
If she will know, will you do so?
