Torture, torture of children,
done by women not by men.
Mutilate to control them
calling it circumcision.
Scream of fear, struggle in vain.
Three sorrows they slice and maim,
baby, girl to woman again
scarred tissue life of pain.
Kenya’s Kisi Kamba cut
Iraqi’s Kikuk Kurds Cut
Hold her down hand and foot
Razor sharp then stich her up
Man’s pleasure infibulation
No female satisfaction
Pelvic pain bladder infection.
Birth by caesarian section.
Tradition followed by a few
They chant unclean ‘Ya Ghalfu. ‘
Stop the silence and taboo
mutilation unseen view.
Torture, torture of children
Done by women for the men
Resist the pressure and coercion
Stop calling this circumcision.
