REJECTED

Rejected ..
Neglected***
Resented**
Damaged**
Is what some old traditions did
To an innocent fourteen year old
Who was dream filled..
But those dreams they killed..
In what they called culture trend..
Which made one less of a person
If one refused the mutilation..
Us ugly as the name sounds on
So is the process of abduction..
But she had to accept it
Or else She would be an outcast..
The dark cloud  was now a past..
But the consequences was a haunt.
She underwent pain during the cut
The painful memories are still felt
How she screamed every moment
For her mum to help her out..
Her mum caged by culture watched
Her daughter  loose a lot of blood
She watched her daughter bleed...
But some old silly traditions came
First and humanity and love second
So she had to watch in silence.
She escaped death ....
But her life was ruined,
She had Fistula the dreaded disease
The smelly disease...
That was considered as a taboo..
So like a leprosy victim
She was sent out as an outcast..
Her own family  sent her out...
Ofcos tradition always came fast..
So after her accepting the cut...
Even when she didn't want. ..
The silly tradition betrayed her
And caused her unending pain
Her own body she couldn't control
Even a mere short call...
Her body system became loose..
On the streets she was mocked..
A life on the streets alone she had
To cope with...
Her own tradition injured her.
Her obedience to her traditions
Damaged her...
Her mother was helpless she let
Tradition take away the fruit
Of her womb..
So the same old silly tradition made
The young girl take away her life
For she felt rejected
Neglected
Resented
Damaged...and all this had to end..
