The Radical Argument
Stephen Okoh 1991 (Lagos)
I am a woman,
No, not an extension, I am
The Yang to the Ying of Society.
I said I am a woman
Fool, not an asset of his wealth,
I’m a stake holder in his lot, vice versa.
I am the waters of the earth
I am Humanity – no, not substandard,
Not customized but the other half.
No, not supplement nor complement;
Not a layer breed,
I am a channel of life.
I am the likeness and reflection
Of a sexless God.
