Talkative discussion
When I was little I was told, men discuss n women talk
Women work at home , men go outside the house….
I noticed men standing near my school gate
I wondered what they discussed, standing there, till late.
Many just stood there and sipped tea and smoked
And gazed and gazed, as if the girls’ were love letters
They seem to adorn each girl with their eyes
Practicing apodyopsis, as each girl went by.
Their discussing, as I grew, I realized
Were of a different nature
It wasn’t politics, it wasn’t games
If someone told u this, well it’s a lie.
U could never escape their roving eyes
They caught u, no matter how much u tried to hide
All u could do was walk, as though u were blind.
Men thought, women were made, to be enjoyed
Kept in the house, as a show piece
Not exactly calling her show piece but wife
Thought they seldom discussed it
You could see the signs of superiority in their eyes.
By and by, I realized
Women also discuss and men talk
But women have more to say
Coz they are the ones who work hard.
In fact they are expected to work
Without saying a word
If they open their mouth
Men say, women all the time talk.
Men numerous interests
When put in words, discussion is called
Then why are women accused of only talk…talk…talk?
