Gender Justice Poem by ifedayo oshin

Gender Justice



Let the rule be changed
That gives woman leave of maternity
Must now for men give leave of paternity
For a child came in the fraternity
Which woman with man shared

Let the role be changed
That man may be househusband
As she’s conditioned a housewife
As it is for the goose so for the gander
When lioness hunts a lion eats of her plunder

Let the rule be changed
That makes her a punching bag
And the man a boxer bent on conquest
For in the ring of matrimony
No victor no vanquished

Let the role be changed
That makes her a cook, cleaner, and all-carer
For to live as helpmates
They both agreed and joined
