Miscalculation

Miscalculation
They are voicing out their freedom
They say
Shamelessly shading crocodile tears in public.
Whatever they say should not be argued on or they will cry
Advancing the grasshopper mindset as if it’s a lion’s.
Freedoms and activism being made a money-making tool.
Mediocrity is now the snack upon which they chew.
Red eyed and down faced they parade to the podium
Making prey innocent, illiterate local women for their gains.
Alas! Look at what the handouts have made our women do.
Advancing the agendas of the minority
Their integrity is for sale.
The white miscalculation of politics equals gender.
