BOY-CHILD (THE ENDANGERED SPECIES)

Despite the fact that God created a man ahead of making a woman, and moreover the first child to be born on earth was a boy, masculinity has tremendously continued to be emasculated through time. Biblical compendiums confirm that crisis of masculinity aren't an incipient tragedy. The life of a boy-child has been in the list of the endangered spies since the ancient days of the Old Testament when Pharaoh ordered the Egyptian midwives to kill every boy-child during birth. The same order was given by Herod in the New testament when he ordered the killing of all newborn male children in a dire need to fulfill his atrocious plan to infanticide Jesus. Despite the fact that both Moses and Jesus escaped the massacre and went ahead to lead the children of God from captivity, male offspring has remained in the hit list of hell to this day. With that in mind, it's our responsibility to change this centuries old narrative through intensive and relentless efforts and witness a future generation of liberated and empowered boy-child.
