DRIFTING APART

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

It happens everyday
Men without shame push their luck too far
Women with new locks and braids lay more traps
And the firmament moves further away.

In the evening when we gather to pray
We find that all the men are in the bar
And the women, although present, argue about wraps
How I wish for once I could have my say.
