The Shame Of Anachronistic African Cultures Poem by John Sensele

Shame on African men
Who blame their inability to bear sons
On hapless African women
Whose duty excludes contributing y chromosome vans.

Shame on African husbands
Who boast when wives bear twins
Prompting ignorant men to adopt stands
That steal the limelight from agile African queens.

Shame on African traditions that robs widows
Of assets and creature comforts vultures
Steal when they invade a deceased's home through windows
To pillage resources in the name of anachronistic, archaic cultures.

Shame on African women whose greed
Propels them to torture widows and orphans
Without any odium sense at high speed
To cosset their egos, tans and profligacy plans.
