WHAT CONCUBINES DON'T DO

'I am too tired darling
Go to the kitchen and make yourself comfortable'
And in the morning
Bread and tea are not on the table

'I'll be travelling to Dubai next week
I need to refill my store'
But you just came back last week
After a month's tour

Yesterday 'I am not in the mood'
Today 'I am not fit
At least it's not food
You can live without it'

LEARN TO LIVE POSITIVELY

A tooth
For a tooth
Will make the world toothless
An eye
For an eye
Will extend the reign of blindness

You got the infection from someone
So you want to pass it to everyone
That's a wrong position
Someone infected you
So all should be like you
Will open you to another infection

Can re-infect the person
Who infected your person?
No, that is impossible
You will only destroy more lives
And plant misery into family lives
For this, God will hold you responsible

OUR STAND

'If it should remain
Press the yes button
If it is causing you pain
In you, let that rotten'

This is the voice of the masses
Let it be respected
This is our position on this crisis
It must be accepted

HER DADDY'S FRIEND

Yesterday
When she was at play
She introduced you as her daddy's friend
With joy that has no end

But today
You are willing to pay
Not for her education
But to always receive your ejaculation

TOO YOUNG

I am not ready for marriage
I am just ten
At this tender age
I should be romancing my pen

Papa please
Don't destroy my life
Look at how healthy mama is
She was ripe before you took her as wife

I HAD PAID THE FEE

He laid his hand on my underwear
And brought it down without care

'Uncle, please, don't do this to me'
"I had paid your madam, the fee"

TEACHER CHIKE

'In Physics' you said
'Unlike poles attract'
So you took her to the bed
And showed her how these poles react

In Chemistry
You taught, another, chemical reaction
And you went out of theory
Into the world of practicals for confirmation

Then the third was Economics
Trade by barter
And to understand it better than previous topics
Bedroom trip was the answer

Now it's Government
And you are having sleepless night
Prepare for the day of judgement
When your deed shall be brought to light 

UNCLE SAM

'Uncle, please don't
You are hurting me
Mama said I mustn't
Till I cling to my true he'

'Don't mind your mama
She wants to deprive you this feeling
She enjoys same from your papa
It's painful because it's your first outing'

I HATE THIS GAME

I hate this game
But he sees it not as shame
Daily we do it
Because, as he said, it makes him fit

'You look so much like your mother'
Does that make me her suitable replacer
'I love her so much'
Is this the best way to repay her love touch

TALKING DRUM

Wind blows
Fire grows
Same wind may swallow
When fire starts to glow

The soil that bestows on the sugarcane sweetness
Same soil gives to the bitterleaf bitterness

The basket that can't hold a drop of water
Same basket is a wonderful tool in the hand of the harvester

That which comes to you in one form
Appears to another with the back like the talking drum

I HEAR THIS DAILY

I hear this daily
'It's time you have your own family
You are an over ripe 'paw paw'
Bring suitors to come knock our door'

So I brought a man
With whom I had a marital plan
'You can't marry him' they said
'He is not from our stead'

Again I brought another
In whom I saw no blunder
'Over my dead body' he ranted
And when I pleaded
'Our lineage
Must never read from their page
It's a curse
And I can't change the course'

Still they never stop singing daily
'It's time to have your own family'

THIS IS MY GIFT

I am not a politician
Because I hate politics
I am not a comedian
Though I love comics

I fear injection
So I never dreamt of being a doctor
For fear of calculation
I didn't make engineering my suitor

Too much talk makes me sick
So I never embraced teaching
Persuation makes me weak
So I didn't go for marketing

No other craft
Entices me
So I decided to display my gift
For the world to see

REMEMBER

Because he is a contender
And you fear he'll be the winner
You sent for his head
'Na im be the butter you won use chop bread'

You claim you want to go serve the masses
That in you tenure there won't be crisis
But before the day of election
'You don cause serious commotion'

Now he is gone
And the election you had won
Your promise, obviously, you can't keep
'But remember say one day you no go fit wake up again when you sleep'

BE CAREFUL

You hold a degree in talking
With no certificate in full stop
Your mouth is always running
With no sense of giving up

Prepare for that day
When you shall push him beyond border
And he will give you your full pay
Though there are better ways he can express his power

He is always afraid to leave the office
For having survive the stress of work
Hoping to come home and kiss peace
Your welcome is endless talk

Soon you shall push him beyond limit
And to express his authority
He will make you dance to his beat
Though there are better ways to show superiority

You tongue
You can't tame
With it you long
To express you strength as dame

Pity you
For you won't like the ending
Though there are other ways to go through
Better than battering

CALL FOR SUBMISSION

Entry is required from any contender
For the post of a father

Candidate must not be a conjugal boxer
Or a marital wrestler
Must be ready to accommodate my mother
Even when she stirs up his anger
Must at no point employ batter
For there are better
And wonderful ways to correct a lover

How I wish my father
Will change when he sees this letter
Because no one can take his place, Never!
But he needs to change for the better

OUR HOME IS A DANGER ZONE

Use the bathroom next door
Ours is insure
There is safe toilet next floor
Ours need cure

Our home is a danger zone
My brother is HIV/AIDS positive
I must go stay alone
With him I can't forever remain negative

But do you realize
That the virus can't be transmitted through contact
So don't stigmatize
PLWHA needs more of our caring act

*PLWHA - People Living With HIV/AIDS

HIS FATHER'S GROAN

He ended her existence
To avoid death sentence
I sold everything
Still it had the same ending
'You snatched her breath
You are sentence to death'

Now my life is at a stall
Having lost all
A daughter in-law dwelling in a pit
A son sent to the gibbet
And a wife
On the verge of losing her life

MY TABLE

'I can't do without Ella
Same time I bed Stella
Now Mary is showing interest
Surely I'll fall for her test
Same thing with Cynthia
And Victoria
So to avoid any unforeseen occurrence
I made a table of reference'

But did your table
Consider the abominable?
What of the possibility of contracting HIV/AIDS
From these maids?

MY MARITAL EPISTLE

Man, do of be brutal
It will make you hostile
A deviation 
From your marital mission

Wife, tame your tongue
To remained beautiful for long
Know when to give up
To avoid drinking with bitter cup

THE GREAT BATTLE

It was the greatest fight of all ages
The battle between brutality and marriages
In all ramification, it lived up to expectation
If you missed it, listen as I do a recap of the action

The battle began
With brutality throwing the first punch as against plan
Swiftly it landed at it's destination
Two more punches and the first marriage was out of action

Then came the second
Which lasted only a second
Then the third till the eighth
Each losing its breath
To the merciless fist of brutality
And it's skillful coach cruelty

Out of the fear of falling
The ninth couldn't hold its calling
Like a pack of playing card it fell
Even before it heard the first yell

Now the battle is almost over
But there is still one more contender

'If I fall
I'll be like those who couldn't hold their call
But if I win
Our place shall be off your bin'

So round one started
Brutality feasted
And round two
To its favour it went too

But before the commencement of the last round
When defeat was clearly around
The spouses came back to their senses
Made nonsense of their differences
Together they fought till the end
And today their union is a wonderful brand
