Kayayoo

She is with child,

She is with loads of luggage.

The pressure of a teenage mother,

As she takes a quick snooze 

In the public transport.

Her hand constantly frazzled

From supporting the head of her baby,

As flies hover over her.

She got pregnant in a consensual relationship 

And was quickly evicted from home 

By her parents.

Abortion was too big a deal 

As she feared the worst.

Thus , decided to strive on her own .

She’s on her way to the market,

To make ends meet.

Under the harsh scrutiny of the sun,

She journeys up and down 

Carrying other people’s luggage for a fee,

With her baby at her back.

Her body’s calling for a break 

But a break would break her account

So she needs to keep going 

Her future aspirations shattered 

Maybe forever.

Kayayoo!!
