UBURU EARLY 19s
On a good night
A woman makes a special meal
gathers kinsmen for a feast
high table for her husband
koboless wives go barren for the time being.
Kneel down woman
Beg your husband
Let him give you children
If he will consider, this night will count
After a girl child, mtchw.
Hunger has no compassion
And pregnant wives are prone to beating
Make up your mind
Harvesting his yams still better than ulcer.
