Womenfolk Hit Hardest

Climate extravagances,

climate immoderations

across Africa, the globe,

you seem to have flung

footbrakes of sympathy

and well-meaning weather

patterns of sanity and security

out of the window. Slow down!

These climate excesses render

Access to clean water horribly

inconsistent and insufficient.

In the villages where the majority live,

the honest reality is that hard-working

Women and girls are hit hardest by extremes

as they face more health hazards and hitches.
