She walks
Anklets tinkling
Bangles laughing
Shhh!
They say
Obey
Be quiet
Making himself seen
Dirt hugging his skin
Football clutched to heart
My boy
They say
So talented
Gifted
Don’t raise your voice
A woman is good
Only as long as
Disobeying isn’t her talent
Praised is the boy
Smart he is
When disobedience is
His only talent
I am participating in the WriteTribe Pro Blogger Challenge where the prompt for the day is Disobedience.
