Poem
Attention! Sit squarely listen keenly, clear your ears Face on the sun your ears, to melt the tar Having melted it, to make lighter your ears Listen now, listen again I keep begging you, I kneel I kneel We don’t lack back home, we have them For your facial beauty, glitters and smiles You made my heart melt As I met you, fetching firewood Your gap alone to show, I sweat cold You alone mother’s daughter, the way I greeted? Guys how are you? You laughed me I turned lighter As you bounced your neck rhythmically, my heart followed rhythmically As you answered the school teacher, I thought was me As you accepted my handshake, to me just dreams Just my thoughts When inside your dress, the red one with a heart That your father brought from Uganda, I hang around your home Even though you remain indoors You are watched carefully, so don’t you come out Attention! Sister heart kills me, what is there in you? Refuse me not lest I crush, my heart you punish As you bounce like a peacock, bouncing your neck What do you expect, me to do? Lusabeti listen sister, listen I beg you Chief’s daughter not my remedy, whatever is in you Even if you lack, don’t discover in her Don’t tense sister, run come to sooth you I long On shores I land Lusabeti, our kraal is full I will follow your father’s demand, to receive his beauty My peacock to give, with a surprising gap This smoking heart, you will have sprinkled cool!
