DIRTY PAY


POEM BY: ALICK MUSHEKWA® *DIRTY PAY* On her body your hands you lay. She works to please you like a slave, But yet you still punish her mind in a cave A cave of agony is what you've turned your house to be, You are more painful like a sting of a bee; I wonder if you are still a human being, Because you treat her like a thing. Your wife you make to work, Your body you put to rest. Your Chinese mind prepares a slave pay. Forgetting all she has done on your way! This is more than a dirty pay! She is just a woman; A woman of all seasons, She loves without reasons Making you happy is her mission, Learning how to love is her tuition. She can give you her portion, But the results you take for abortion. Being with you forever is her undebatable motion. Taking you the way you are is her notion. Giving you her body is your promotion, But after all; what do you do! You decided to swindle her local government; Burying all the words you claimed to have meant. With you bald words you strike her heart leaving her stationary like a monument You then call the times you spent together to be useless, including all wonderful moments. On her body your hands you lay. She works to please you like a slave, But yet you still punish her mind in a cave A cave of agony is what you've turned your house to be, You are more painful like a sting of a bee I wonder if you are still a human being; Because you treat her like a thing. Your wife you make to work, Your body you put to rest. Your Chinese mind prepares a slave pay. Forgetting all she has done on your way. This is more than a dirty pay! Working smart is the story she hasn't read, To be home and taken care of by her husband is what she doesn't feed. Putting her home in peace is what she need. Wrong friends give her advices of mislead, Instead she listens to you as you take the lead. She purifies her husband's mess just like kidneys remove metabolic waste She can do anything just to quench everyone's thirst Doing everything without selfishness is what works out best She can choose to be the last just to make you first Her mistakes she doesn't hide, but to confess. She is just woman, She fears no man, For she is a human. Taking her for granted is being inhuman. If you dare destroy her future will have you looked down like Wuhan. No one has a right to discriminate, If you dare, the world will have you to eliminate Her abilities in doing work she incarnates No one cares except for her loved ones. She has a mechanic mind, She believes with no panic, She fears to be laughed at by the public Her tears of failure smells like garlic, She can't eat, if not seeing her family happy. She is ever ready to die for her baby. Copyright reserved® ©2020

Erics

I am simple like a bee but tough like its sting, Working smart is my priority in every system. Fear of man to work is what made him a poverty victim. I don't worry of what to do cause I have my own mechanism, No retire from my dreams, as my heart is full of enthusiasm.
