Mmeso Inspires: The First Man

I cannot do anything to help you Oheme,

You delayed,

Everyday I keep waiting for the right man,

Who will console my burdened spirit,

And wipe my tears away,

And you didn’t cross my way.

Day by Day,

I keep waiting,

My eyes twitching with hope,

But you never pass by, Oheme.

Why now?

You found me when I have someone standing by,

I cannot do anything, Oheme,

He is the first man.

Why were you Oheme?

When I needed a shoulder to cry on,

Where were you when I needed a soul to lean on,

You were probably living your best life with the black curvy lady of mpala,

It is too late, Oheme…

Because I have someone standing.

I cannot do anything to please you Oheme,

Because I am occupied already,

Had it been you met me available,

Probably I will give you a chance,

Had it been my man behaves  like the ufule young men who chase after everything on skirts,

Or like the Todo men who beat up their wife at any slightest provocation,

I would have run away as fast as my leg could carry me,

To your place.

But it is too late Oheme,

Because he is too good to be real.

I will not advice you to lurk around waiting for me,

I am optimistic that my first man is all I need,

I cannot do anything to help you Oheme,

Please don’t look at me that way,

You arrived at the wrong time,

Because I have someone standing already.

He is the first man.
