Allan Terry Poet Ballad

Him Say Disk

he spoke to her from the only way he knew her
this angered those who were with as he
said things to her were considered curses in their culture.
they branded him insensitive
and gave words of discouragement to him.
they stood face to face as they spewed angerments
to one another, a woman said of the encounter.
the man said at the end of the engagement
" foul are these wicked souls
that they are unmarried and have persons (children)
their men are weak and beg their woman for comfort
they speak to satisfy their needs, yet they refuse to marry
and house those they have created.
I speak these men fools, and their keepsakes as whores.
satan heats their wicked hearts, and encourages their foolishness."
a woman amidst the crowd which had gathered spoke against the man who had been labeled
mean spirited, she said" he that labors against things that
doesn't concern him is foolish. His words speak to bruise the skin
and he speaks only to be heard. might a situation of 
such un-understanding cause he the same strife that
stricken these people."
