She turned ‘16’ he called her ‘sweet’, her breasts were full her hips were out,
Her face was smooth as bright as light, he always promised to make things right.
They dated for months and she felt high the time of reckoning was dangerously nigh then she got late and started to sigh. Fear crept in if only she could fly.
She told him the news and he turned to booze have an abortion you have nothing to lose.
Feeling caught and trapped in a noose she cried all she could and fell into a snooze.
Her parents caught fire when they heard the news father blamed mother out of the blues.
Her life was ruined, she had no clues, if she was so ‘sweet’ where was he now?
Questions for reflection:
When do you think Wanja made her big mistake?
What do you think about Johnson?
What do you think about the parents of Wanja?
What is the message of this story?
