Ashewo
Why did you wear that skimpy shirt?
Did you expect Z to hold himself?
Shut up! You temptress
Victims become the victimized
Even when the facts are as clear as water
No one wants to believe
Yet everyone wonders why more do not speak up
Interrogations ensue
Military styled questions
In guardrooms of doom
We all know the verdict
Z is discharged and acquitted
And I am not
Ridicule becomes the order of my day
Ashewo they say
The wives of my father sneer at me
Noses moving like heartbeats
Hands in rhythmic manner
Voices questioning me
What were you doing by the mango tree all by yourself in a short dress in Somolu?
No one asks Z
