Lord, my woman is talking
Give me four ears to hear her…
Lord my woman is talking and speaking
Give me six ears to listen to her…
Lord my woman is talking and speaking and saying things
Give me eight ears to understand her…
Give me more ears Lord.
She is saying this and that, that and this…
That I this and that she that.
Blah, blah, blah, my woman’s bleating.
Lord, she is saying that in 2004, January 4th, in the morning, at 4 a.m. I…
Lord, how does the morn of early 2004 matter today?
She is saying that I don’t listen, never give her an ear…
Lord, add me ears I share with my woman in coming years!
Lord, my woman is speaking in tongues
About hair and love, pink and lollipop, black and forest, ooh and aah;
My woman, she says Tina is a bitch and Ali is a bitch and I bitch and…
Oh Lord, more ears please: my woman is bitching!
Lord lend me ten, twenty, thirty, hundred ears
(or cut off my woman’s tongues)
Quickly my Lord, because my woman just called to say:
We need to TALK!

HI Madd, I like this page en thank you for your good work. In this poem are you saying that women are never satisfied and that they are ever complaining? What can we do to help them.

I like it Madd!! Yes, we like to talk. And yes, we also know that you get scared when we say we want to talk, but I like the fact that you say you will still try…….( through seeking divine intervention!) Endelea vivyo, hivyo

Haaaa when I think of the guy needing ears I know for sure he wouldnt use them. Do you notice he needed just a few at the begining? If you do not use the two ears be assured to require 5 as a penalty. Listen to women or even appear to be listening!!!

It’s good Madiang’, bt produce others with local languages.
Posted by Oluoch-Madiang's Poetry on December 19, 2011 at 12:32
Sawa…noted. I hope you also consider Kiswahili to be a ‘local language’.
