Daughters of movement but not monument.
We are here to Sentitize, Dignitize
Magnetize, Scrutinize, Analyze and
Educate about Abuse.
​
Defiled, defiled, defiled
At a tender age I was
subjected to defilement,
impregnated and infected
with sexually transmitted infections carrying
a child for a man who I didn't
know the community scattered, people condemned me
calling me a whore, not knowing that I lost
virginity, pride and reputation
I was left with no choice but suicide
Dead at the end.
​
It's not a mistake to make a mistake but it is a
mistake to repeat a mistake-- we break down from
heroes to zeroes! Now! we know
People only love us and support us
when it is beneficial.
​
Love, Peace and Freedom is what a girl needs
Indeed education has the ability
and capabiliy to drive away ignorance
Ooh! yes education is one of the
most powerful weapons that we can use
to overcome Ignorance
​
Ooh! abuse, you have taken away the love
of my brother and my mother's soul leaving
me an orphan
​
A girl crying for peace and freedom.
I don't need money all I need is care and love
If I wasn't an orphan I wish I wish my
a parent were here with me
​
I thought my uncle loved me, not until two
coconuts grew on my chest, he used me and abused me
Uncle, look what you have done to my life
I am now mentally disturbed.
​
He raped me, I saw red juice coming from my thighs
Abuse is a slow poison that is killing me, I can't
focus nor concentrate because of what he did to me
​
Abuse, look what you have done to my brother's life
he now runs from the street of Twatasna to Garnaton
Mom, where are you leaving me
in this world full of calamity and pain
​
Child neglect, child neglect
you left me with no choice but living
in the street of Chisokone Market
vandalizing, stealing became the only option
for me to survive: finding peace in smoking daga sniffing
stickers and glue not knowing they were destroying my life
​
OH ABUSE
