Bantu Poem , Shahiri Mussabwa 18

You work well, 
Getting much money , 
You throw seventy percent,
-------------------------------------------------
Of your salary into the river
Wantonly while your kids 
And wife are suffering so much. 


June 15th 2023

When a Bantu man 
Valued alcohol 
And prostitutes 
more than his family. 

Other way , 
Using much 
Money on useless things
Than concentrating to
Prepare your future.

Bantu Poem, Shahiri Mussabwa Poetry 17

As you failed to heal your husband 
In your bedroom and 
A stranger came quickly for assistance.
-------------------------------------------
You will think to be bewitched 
Than blaming yourself due 
To your bad treatment.

Message: 
Majorly Bantu women understand 
The weakness of majority men.
It is hard for them to let their husbands 
“Or boyfriends “entertain with their friends…
Or the women colleagues of their husbands 
“or boyfriends”
Because women treat men differently, 
And 
It always high risks competing in love games.


"Once most treated by a stranger, divorce smells"

Bantu Poem,Shahiri Mussabwa Poetry 16

She said to her daughter,”
Don’t ever visit 
Some wizards 
For love charms.

Because you
Are the best
Love mesmerism
And magnetism
In your bad room.”

Message: 
Majority Bantu women target 
The weak parts of men in relationships
 “Or marriage “for their goods. 
Reason why more old women always
 Have with young women privately. 
Majority Bantu women know that good treatment
 In the bedroom and kitchen 
Are best love charms 
Which they have in their hands.

Bantu Poem, Shahiri Mussabwa 15

You are very 
Intelligent, 
All eyes 
On you,

Some ears 
close up, 
Some  hands

Message: 
Majority black communities
Always failed to support
And protect  
The very intelligent 
People among them. 
It always be a secret motive 
To eliminate them through charms 
Or poisons. 
Being a very intelligent to some 
Bantus and other black groups 
Was  always a danger
From the begining of colony 
to today.
More black people were instructed by the Majority  colonisers to eliminate 
Their very intelligent people
And that pratique continued secretly...
Which is  " selfhate "

To a single man 
When he wants
To marry a woman of his 
Choice who did not help him in struggle.
Remember It is always 
Hard to force love 
And money can not buy true love.
