A poem on President Buhari’s #TheOtherRoom

by Soyombo Ayomikun
The Other Room!
1. Where ambitions may be Quashed,

Where the gods of passion
Ravenously devour,
Where sweat
Drips and
Drops,
The Other
Room!

2. Where snores
Erupt,
Where ‘subconscious’
Reigns supreme,
Where hearts embrace
In sweet flowery dreams,
A daily witness
Of our stark
Nakedness,
The Other
Room!
3. Our fore-fathers
Snuffed out dreams in
The Other
Room,
Of girls that should
Rule,
Of voices that should
Be heard beyond
Our coast-
Silenced forever in
The Other
Room!
4. Who says
The Boardroom
Is the inheritance
Of beings
With hanging balls?
Who says
It’s the fate
Of our girls and
Women
To be forever lost
In the cooking room?
Who says
Our ladies can’t ignite
Our hearts and
Inspire us to
Our bones?
Please,
Let our girls
And ladies and
Mothers
Fly,
Out of The Other Room
Let them fly!
