ሴት ነሽና
ሴት ነሽና፥
ሰውነቱን፣ ክብሩን ትቶ፣
ቀሚስሽን ወንድ ይለካል
ደግሞ ሲለው ተንጠራርቶ
ተጠራርቶ… ደፍሮ ይነካል፤
ሴት ነሽና፥
“ተው” ብትዪው፥ እንደመብቱ
“ዝም በይ” ይላል በአንደበቱ፤
ማንም የለም “ተው” የሚለው፣
ሁሉም አጋዥ አበርቺው ነው፤
ሴት ነሽና፥
የሀሳብሽን ቁመት ልቀት
የህልምሽን ስፋት ርቀት
ወንድ ሰፍሮ ይመዝናል፣
በእርሱ ገበያ ይተምናል፤
ሴት ነሽና፥
በአውሬነቱ እርቃን ቀርቶ፣
ሀፍረት ጥሎ፣ ሱሪ ፈትቶ፣
ሰው ገላ ላይ ይፈነጫል፣
“አሳስታኝ ነው” ብሎ ይጮሃል፤
ሴት ነሽና፥
ለእርሱ ስሜት ለአውሬነቱ
ጥጋት ሆኖ ለነውሩ፣ ለሴሰኛ ሟችነቱ
አንቺን ያማል ሁሉም ወጥቶ ከየቤቱ፤
ሴት ነሽና፥
እሱ ሰፍሮ አጥሯል ብሎ
የደፈረሽን ተንጠላጥሎ፣
ሁሉም ወጥቶ ያጸድቅለታል
“ማን ተራቆች” አላት ብሎ፤
ሴት ነሽና፥
ሰዓት እላፊሽ በሰፈሩ ይተመናል
መውጫ መግቢያሽ በጎረምሳ ይሰፈራል
በየት ገባሽ?
በየት ወጣሽ?
ከማን ታየሽ?
ማንን አየሽ?
ሁሉም ጣቱን ይቀስራል፤
ሴት ነሽና፥
አትስሚያቸው!
እኔ እኔ ነኝ በይ ንገሪ፣
ብርቱነትሽን ለዓለም አውሪ፤
ለጉልበታም ጉልበትሽን
ለብልሁም ብልሃትሽን
አሳያቸው፣ እንዳጸሚ!
አንቺ ላንቺ፣ በርቺ ቁሚ
ቆሞ ሄደሽ ስትልቂ፣
ያኔ ይመጣል ማሪኝ ብሎ
ሂስ ቅጣቱን ተቀብሎ፣
የሰው ሁሉ ቁም ነገሩ፥
ሴት ነሽና!
ሴት ሴታታ…
ምታበሪ በቀን ማታ!

It is becoming customary that tragic stories of violence against women are blending our daily news and reports. The increased prevalence rate is somehow positive that it tells about the improved trend of reportings; hence, the incidence is increasingly alarming while it has to decrease with time and access to information.Imagine the ‘unreported’ stories that happen regularly, and are settled by the intervention of go-betweens; think of women that are threatened by their loved ones, and ill-treated by a species of their kind; think of the society that points its fingers on ‘the victim’ than the ‘violent’; think of a girl’s voice that bounced back from the gates of our ears; recall the sympathies and society level embarrassing excuses for a violent: like ‘she shouldn’t wear a miniskirt’, ‘ምንም ሳታደርገውማ አይሆንም’.
The battle towards women’s rights is every human’s that we all should defend the human race, and speak up for the voiceless majority. Defending women is defending our own beings, houses, and communities. It is a risk that may jeopardize every household, the roots and branches of every family tree, and thus the minds of all.
How dare a bad father can talk about a bad leader? How dare a bad teacher can discipline his/her students? How dare a ‘corrupt’ husband/fiance to his love, can criticize a corrupt boss/authority? How dare a violent man can complain about other violence?
We all should empower women that it means empowering ourselves; it is empowering the society; it utilizing all our resources and excelling life; it is living life to the fullest; it is rationality; it is humanity; it is how it should gonna be. Life is unthinkable without wo/men!
Taking the lion share, no wonder, women should uplift themselves; they should uplift men; they should uplift the society; they should cooperate in the process of generation replacement, and nurture uplifted children as an already determined fate, with the God’s will; that they should say “NO” for any oppression by their most intimate men, by people that they plan and commit their life with; …nor they should oppress anyone, and be civilly and intellectually arrogant.
They shouldn’t expect a miracle to come to their ways to triumph over life, nor wait for someone else to work for them; no one should expect of course! …we all should struggle rather; we all should get together, make comfortable ways and go through altogether. Then, the legacy for children will be a decent place, where life will be cherished, and death will be celebrated.
Wake up brother! “brother Jacob 😉 “, and uplift your home!, empower the executive of your home; never undermine her power, nor take her for granted; respect yourself and never objectify your woman, as saying ‘I love you’ for someone that yourself has dared to objectify is foolishness at its worst level. Never do that my man; never ever, even, when you think, on her foolishness.
Wake up sister! “sister 😉 “, and uplift your home and the lives inside it!, fortify your abilities, unleash the potentials in you, utilize resources, dig for opportunities to come to your ways, be respectful, be responsible and trusted, …and meet your soul truly! …that you will give birth for &rear an uplifted, other things being equal!
To respect each one another, and to contribute for the co
Let’s get changed to change.
Let’s get together, impact the society, and live together.
Let peace be upon our homes.
Let’s promise to ourselves to live in a peaceful state of minds.
We all deserve to live in a violent-free world; we can’t control what is in the world, but our homes/circles are our worlds.
Happy Women’s Day!
Happy Today! Happy Everyday!
It depends on what we want!
‘Being a drop’ is the righteous track, while the vision is ‘being a river’. Hence, the drop has to go aggrouped with other drops, so as to grow into a brook. As well, the brooks should find a way to flow together to make a stream. This way, the river will be inevitable. Of course, it is not any complicated.I came up with this thought during a meeting with friends that we have been talking ‘gender’ and the status quo, solely as a human right issue and it’s impacts on life in general. It is ever nauseating that human beings and their rights are split up into two (men’s and women’s) just in a domestic level, way before it is promoted to any larger group.
Logically, for in stance speaking of racism, having the aggravating factors in mind, it can make sense for a stigma to materialize against another’s race, because it is common that a group of some specific race resides in a specific place. And people’s common inclination to aspire for safety through grouping altogether can make them enemies each one another.
Hence, we all believe, racism has to be prevented and cured that no one deserves to live in hatred; and it shouldn’t infect generations. As well, sexism and gender issues have to be prevented and cured that human beings don’t deserve to live ‘incomplete’; and the coming generation will be at safe.
We may be drops initially. But we’ve the potential of being a river; and then sea… as the famous Ethiopian proverbs go ‘የውኀ ጠብታ ቀስበቀስ ድንጋይ ይቦረቡራል።’ or ‘የውኀ ጠብታ ቀስበቀስ ጋን ይሞላል።’ – it depends on what we want; and it can be asserted to any of our activities.
