SPECIAL POEM : A Tale of 2 Women
By Sylvia Olayinka Blyden

One was only a lowly enrolled nurse
With probably nothing in her purse
The other was a powerful minister
With access to cash & political power
The former is now dead; stone dead
Whilst the latter is too big-headed
To know she has gravely offended
Memory of another woman now dead
But can you blame the minister?
When shameless acts widely scatter?
Shamelessness thriving as Disaster looms
Clerk of Parliament nods as Evil blooms
But no matter the press releases
And supposed shows of solidarities
The dirty deed of the female minister
Against the dead female nurse is bitter
Because the minister is no more a woman
Than the dead nurse was herself a woman.
I repeat, the minister is no more a woman
Than the dead nurse was herself a woman.
