Platinum Coated- Poem on Female Genital Mutilation
Mama took me for a walk today
Who would have thought, our malicious
ancestors nature would have ripped my childhood away
To my left, the village women were dancing
and prancing
To my right, Daddy’s was on top of the hill
glancing, and chanting
The walk felt at
ease at first
Suddenly, that
joyful feeling ceased down to the worst
as we Slowly approached the village
circumcist
Better known as the despicable vagina
botanist
Wicked old lady is what I called her, with
wrinkles deeper than my ancestor’s family tree
Eyes deeply pierced, cataracts indulged,
‘’mama how could you trust her with me?’’
She hobbled, with her dirt stained index
finger, leaned on her thirsty lips
She said, ‘’Hush now, only a coward would cry’’
then quickly held a gripped hold of my fragile hips
Grabbing her dingy Ethiopian dress out of
the way, for comfort
Stripping me waist down just left me with
only my shirt
Restraining me, as if I’m a fugitive on the
run
If I was made aware of this barbaric
nature, I would have definitely run
Slouching over on my arms and legs,
applying pressure, spreading my knees further apart
With each slice, as if she was painting
with a box cutter in my gutter, with each it stabbed my heart
I would never wish this pain on my worst
enemy
I would never forget that bloody board,
with my remains, left out to dry like raw meat
‘’Mama, am I discriminated and punished
from being born in the likeness of Gods image?’’
‘’Mama, why do I have to be tortured for
the right of passage, and a cultural linkage?’’
‘’Mama, I am limited to Live, Love and be
Free’’
How many have read the verdict before me?
Guess my cries wasn’t loud enough for God
to hear
Indulged in excruciating pain, don’t think
even an exorcist can bear
Now I am traumatized for life
I am reminded physically and
psychologically, knowing she endorsed my unforgiving stripes taking away my
womanly rights
Throwing parts of my soul into the Nile
River
Stealing parts of my God given gift, as if
she was the ULTIMATE giver
‘’Mama you say, I am a woman now, but my
existence has been torn away’’
Sprinkling salt on my wounds, legs bound felt
like I have died again and again, today
For many centuries women has suffered due
to old ancient traditions overflowing with ignorance and lack of education.
Join me in bounding our voices to put a complete STOP, to Female Genital
Mutilation. –Illustrious Da Poet Sept 2013

Illustrious da Poet: x marks the spot
Illustrious da Poet: x marks the spot: the setting, my place, lights dimmed fire started flickering on the candle wax, since u walked in you and i lost in our secluded mome...
Shhhh, don’t keep it on the down low
down low men is gradually becoming a disgrace of humans issue
Its contradicting because society may not make it real easy for you
some down low men, are simply confused
involving other lives just to be simply misused
to the down low guys hiding behind the fury balls of shame
stop hiding behind the pole pretending to be one thing in day, and at night ur calling his name
whats done in the dark, will gleam in the light when truth unfolds
be real with urself, its only right, its not a secret that should remain untold
i apologize for ur imperfect life, thats so fucked up ur not willing urself be real with others,
think of avoiding dangerous consequences, ur life, and how u can mislead another
jumping from her pussy to his dick and rotate
u may not acknowledge it, now ur living life of self hate
its wrong to paint a picture of a strong and honorable lady’s man on the out side, but on the inside, ur more colorful than Picasso
its not right deceiving them, , and expect a clap clap and a bravo
shouldn’t be judge-mental on how someone may pick and choose
either way it goes, they get to pick to gain in life, or to loose
to my women, don’t be an infected in denial of your down low man
observe and learn of him around other men
eye brows arched better than urs chances are he's probably on the down low or not "out" yet
pay close attention ladies, to avoid being betrayed beyond any imaginable level, and be left with a physical debt
a woman shouldn’t be used as a distraction to idiotize herself to society
while along her man, her husband, is running town, obliquely
HIV is running the race
while ur assed out and fucking her, whole life has been laced
we have other lives involved, possibly sprouting seeds
confusing their minds intertwine with lies of how they think daddy should be
keeping his queen at home with the kids
bringing unprotected shit to the hieness bed, that every night he re-lived
ur despicably violating someone’s emotions
and now STD’s are aligned in locomotion
u mind as well stick a bullet of aides in ur caliber, point at ur dick and play Russian roulette
living like the invisible massacre, more like the beast in the night that comes in triple threat
i can give a middle finger fuck about ur sexual interests
but protecting urself is all i suggest
get ur ass out the closet and stop hiding behind the mink coat
looking insane, with ur soul call man bag, looking like my Louis purse
please i beg, respect the others sexuality
only in the sense and to the extent that we respect others sexual theory
Some of u may be lost in phase looking for the right woman to cure u
pitcher or catcher, either way u are still gay. Live with it , and be u
life can get the best of u, society can be more than a curse
revealing the truth
don’t live in a lie, life would be better than worse
It takes a lot of courage to be open about who you are
if it takes to change ur surroundings to people who accept who u really are
we all come from different backgrounds and went thru different life experiences but we all have the power to make the right choices and make positive differences
to the down low men,
be as real as u can.
