My culture I am an African child So my culture is one of those highly praised Where respect and ubuntu are regarded daily bread Protocol followed,cultural secrets kept and that includes selling souls While a young boy is praised for serving the community an infant girl is already on the market. Three cows is the minimal payment No matter how disgusting this sounds our village mothers are still the most humble and obeying beings one can find My culture is a society comfortable of making monsters out of their own children Trading innocent souls for greed Defining respect by a child marrying a man twice her age A culture where happiness is running away from home Who is to blame? When marrying six wives isnt a shame but a trend Women remain inferior and content When a teenager is impregnated by a peer its a taboo But when impregnated by a senior its culture Who is to save us from this sinking ship? Still i remain an African child
