Your excellent poem highlights a dreadful ritual that is cruel and disgusting. It seems to me there are too many countries that treat women like bits of meat on a slab. I wonder what would happen if the women turned and did something equally horrific to the men who insist on doing these things. This is written well and needed to be highlighted. xsx sandra

This piece is well written and presented by a beautiful piece of art. Through this great piece of poetry you have informed all women just how lucky they are to have been born outside this horrible country. Great work

I had no idea something like this even existed, Nassus. Thanks for educating me. It is terrible that this rite exists and these girls have no choice in the matter. I hope something can be done to stop this barbaric act. Well penned. luv jada

A very well written poem with a horrifying truth to it, the whole act is a brutal mutilation of a woman's, mind body and soul, really terrifying, great work ,

Well done, and good voice in portraying what we all would like to say.
Its barbaric and man made, it has little to do with religion. Sometimes I wonder of the human race and who man thinks he is.
When will we cease to play God?
Good write, my friend.

Susan, I found this Piece of poetry to be an excellently written in a way that faceted the fruits of a woman away from her livelihood. This crucial mutilation of a woman's private parts is not only their private parts of her mind and soul.
Sacrificing her fruit for the they might as well tear out the top so they cannot taste the natural fruit of life. Thank you so much for sharing imposing this for others and may the Lord be with you and yours always.

Hi Nassus,

I never heard of genital mutilation before. How terrible that the girl/woman has no say so about it and can't reject it. You did a good job in writing this.
