Not a man
Nor a woman
Not a he nor a she,
It is not legal
To call her he or she,
The society calls her ‘it',
An Illegal Person.
As I lebelled her as ‘her',
This poem is illegal too.
An Illegal Person
Belongs to
An illegal society.
Each one of them
Abandoned by her family
As a new-born,
A little infant.
She has a father
brothers and sisters
Who refuse to
Identify her.
She has a mother
Who is not allowed
To own her up.
She is an illegal person
Of an illegal Society.
She is bad luck
For the family she was born to
For anybody sets their eyes on her,
For she is an ‘it', a thing!
Not a person
Not an individual.
How does she earn her living?
Illegally, obvious!
She sells anything
Including herself
Albeit, illegally.
