Thou Women Of Tar Thy Love Has Fail Thee Poem by henry ochiagha

THOU WOMEN OF TAR THY LOVE HAVE FAIL THEE by Poet Henry Ochiagha(a poem dedicated to all virtues women)

On my way back from a sea voyage

I saw some beautiful women performing some rituals at the sea shore

when i inquire about them

I was told that they are women of Tar which will be sacrifices to the sea goddess in the gulf of Eden

Three of them were accuse of witchcraft while the other one was accuse of making her husband impotent

How long will this outrageous act continue?

The burden of truth makes the lies wary

In the beginning, everything was made perfect

From the ribs, you appeared to fill the vacuum of emptiness

Not knowing that the vacuum of emptiness is the vacuum of slavery

We lived together as one in the garden of life

Not knowing what is inside the heart of men

Out of love, Eve gave Adam the forbidden fruit because she wants him to be an extra ordinary human

Thy love thy strength thy weakness

The strength of thy love has become thy weakness

Who stole the seed of love we once shared?

In some countries, you are not allow to drive a car

You are not allowed to go to school

Some ruthless men even went as far as marrying under aged girls

Thy love and caring has led thee into unacceptable slavery

You're disenfranchise from exercising your franchise

Gender discrimination and hatred has covered thy love

But when perfection turn into imperfection, the stolen mandate of love returned through the forbidden fruit

Oh! women of Tar, when will your suffering be over?

You are not allow to marry a man of your choice

The sober reflection in the sky brings heavy down pour

You belong only in the kitchen

One of your major duty is to make babies

Some say 'women are the photo copy of God image while men are the real image'

Some of these outrageous things are instill in some religion and country laws

Trying to amend the laws is like finding a needle in a haystack

Thou women of Tar, thy love have failed thee because of the importance of Adam
