Mama, am I a roasted sausage,
that you scrape off a burnt part of me?
Papa, am I an orange,
that you have to peel me to make me appealing?
Grandma, am I an onion,
that has to be sliced to make the stew taste better?
My village people, am I a tree,
that you have to cut down to make a pillar for dead traditions?
Why bring a razor to wound my today and scar my future?
Leave your sharp objects in the past and let my innocence live.
*stop female genital mutilation
*stop crimes against women
