When I look around
Further not only to what is around
I see sad faces
Faces that speak yet say nothing
That look beyond what they see
Tired of being sidelined
For their voice is heard
Yet does not receive responses
Yes, I talk about violence
From generation to generation
Like a mathematical sequence
That has overridden the patience
And has resulted in the igniting and awakening
Of the feminine force
Women and girls are the subject
Of all sorts of violence
Physical, economical, internalized
Very numerous to mention
That I state a few of a few
Let’s imagine a world
Where women and men are given equal opportunities
Given the much desired love and support
To make the untapped significant contribution
To their households, society and country’s economy
Finally make Malawi, Africa and the world as whole
A living paradise
