PS: I LOVE ME MORE

Am not being selfish
Am just saying i love me more
Why not?
i have had me more all my life
why should i let you hit me?
hit me in the name of love
why should i be stuck with your unfaithfulness
your dishonesty,
No, i love me more...

look at me
am selfless and giving
that's why i can say
i love me more

for if i love me less
i will let you take me
take me six feet under

but because i love you
yes love you
i will walk away for a better life
better life from you
because
PS: i love me more

like brand new shoes

with pain she gets up early
heading for the market
trying to hitch a ride

with every step
every foot step
feels like "walumbe" is beckoning her
but the children
only them keep her head up

even though the children's " taata" sleeps the day away
she walks miles for her brood
this walk is a walk in brand new shoes
the hurt
the pinch of these imaginary shoes
eventually wears away
just like brand new shoes

Night Prowler

she walks the streets
paces those clean streets
thinking good thoughts
she tries
its only for the money
only for survival

she walks the streets
only in the dark
under the cover of the night
pacing them for prey
to feed her little ones

these clean streets
she prowls 
knowing this might be the death of her
but she prowls
walking for survival
and hunting for life 
so she prowls

Man Up

I want you to walk my daughter

walk like a lady

i want you to dress my daughter

dress like a mistress

i want you to see my daughter 

see like a mother does

i want you to smile my daughter

smile like a goddess

But i want you to speak my daughter

speak up

speak like a man

not just any man, mind you 

speak my daughter

only words that you will walk 

not on egg shells mind you 

but speak if you mean it

speak like a man with honor does

                  xoxo
