A Poem For The Girl Child by Willzz(m): 9:57am On Mar 04, 2018 |
NOT JUST A GIRL She is not just a girl, she is more than a gender more than the tag; feminine, more than the metaphors in the line of a poem more than the punchline of a joke, She is not an excuse not a mistake not a property to be owned and possess, She is queen crafted with the hands of Zeus made alive with the breath of Yahweh She is a goddess. She is not just a girl, She is a rainbow after a stormy day a sunset after a dark night a shooting star from Venus a fierce thunder from the lineage of Sango, She is not inferior not a slave to be traded for pieces of silver, She is worth more than black gold worth more than the Persian diamond, She is a hero, She is a wonder a warrior from the tribe of Amazon. She is not just a girl, not a fantasy to be attained, her life is worth more the doctrines of a thousand religion, She is a being with emotions with a voice that wants to be heard a story that needs to be shared, She is my mother your sister your daughter your wife and she is not just a girl. 1 Like 1 Share
