28
Am unmarried and 28, She said, The old men in my village Look at me like herlot. In their times, they say, Girls married at 16 And those were not taken Who were ruined. Never have we come across a girl Unmarried though 28, Maybe you are secretly aborted Or it simply means you are an outcast. She is sullen, not at them but at herself To have born into the world With aims to be stronger than men And dreams to make it big. Now that she's being labelled Maybe she'd succumb to their wishes And world will miss the rise of a woman From dark trenches.
