If poetry wasn’t a woman
How would you seduce
The eyes to open
The heart’s windows of emotion

If poetry wasn’t a woman
How would naked words
Seduce the mind
Ejaculaiting a climax of creative ideas

If poetry wasn’t a woman
How would the loins
Of the creative lay open
Full of desire for emotional satisfaction

If poetry wasn’t a woman
How would achieve a deep penetration
In the psyche yielding a connection
For a satisfying communication

If poetry wasn’t a woman
How would the hard truth
Screw the slippery inequality
For self self actualisation

If poetry wasn’t a woman
How would you impregnate the brain
Making the conscience Labour in pain
Of the society’s ills hoping to deliver emancipation

If poetry is a woman
Why do we forget she’s human
