(Ode to My new Age)
Dear Mayor,
I know you are too busy,
When you get time have a walk
Along Pallisa Road at night,
Walk with your phone at hand.
If you can't do that,
Make your daughter walk there alone,
Even as early as 7:30pm,
Let's see if she reaches home on intact pants.
Just imagine students
Leaving School as late as 7:30pm
Because they had a class project,
How would they walk past this dark street?
Without feeling the claws of the night predator.
I know you don't care,
Can you imagine your 24year Old sister,
Walking past this street late at 7:30pm
Because she was held back to collect a class project from her Students.
Would she teach with confidence again?
Dear Mayor,
I know you are too busy,
When you get time have a walk
Along Pallisa Road at night,
Walk it alone please.
