 </div><p></p>Abeni,<br>
The pride born at the borders where virtues are valued<br>
On the integrity lying beneath the black skin and sparkling hair<br>
Where the jealous sun laughs in delight of the rare norms you wear<br>
On your cultured structure with shining beads tied around your beauty.
<p>Your glowing skin in the dark is like the meadow at dawn<br>
Graced with drizzling dew from the caring cloud<br>
Whose colour speaks more of your sparkles which collides crowd<br>
Of million men longing for the treasure littering your heart’s lawn.</p>
<p>Abeni mi,<br>
Let me talk of the angle your steps make with your curves<br>
Whenever you walk pass the forlorn route of masculinity<br>
Where delight drools unawares from their wishing glands<br>
Flooded with dented desires to secrete lust from their skipping words</p>
<p>You are the value I crave for while alive in unconsciousness,<br>
But I saw materialism fluttering around the aura of their eerie emotions.<br>
Truly I have no money,but on my knees is what money cannot buy,<br>
So,trade my words in your heart’s mall and let it yield love forever.</p>
<p>Abeni,<br>
Never forget the heritage I found behind your infectious demeanor.<br>
So,keep it safe to save the aging age of Africa in ages to come.</p>
<p>Alake mi,<br>
But why glue your baby’s chest to your navel<br>
When our mothers placed you at their own backs?<br>
Why has tradition drowned with unusualness in civilization ocean<br>
Flowing to a destination where rags are the only symbol for beauty.</p>
<p>Aminat,<br>
Why sell your beauty to the sweetness in life bitterness<br>
While you gain pains at the expense of discounted pain’s gain?<br>
Never tell me your nakedness is for what materialism holds<br>
In her hands painted with deceit and blurry trust in longed lust</p>
<p>Adaeze,<br>
Your skin is not meant to be feeds for blazing pomade,<br>
Neither is your beauty a function of hue not home made.<br>
Ask the stars the reason behind their sparkling teeth,<br>
And nature shall reply you with the importance of being natural.</p>
<p>Rich culture; reach caution!<br>
With rich caution,reach pitched culture!<br>
The warning I heard nature split in layers<br>
Into the eardrums of femininity blocked with faded fashion.</p>
