Commitments Poem by Takunda S Chikomo

Commitments.

Woman!
Has it ever occurred to you that
When he says
You should respect
His hustle
In other words he is saying
He loves his job
More than he loves you?
Or maybe it's just me
Seeing things...

Have you ever heard of
The man cave?
What do you think it is?
Don't you sometimes
Get the feeling that sometimes
He is just being
F*ckin egocentric?

Or maybe he is just
Trying to make ends meet
For both your good.
Why do men get so busy
They don't find time to love?
Why do more and more men
Have less and less attention
For their women?

Tell me how many women
Are afraid of commitment?
A sudden change in character
Of the person you thought you knew.
They say
Rinonyenga rinowarara
Rozosimudza musoro rawana
Ichi ndicho chokwadi chemahara
Vasikana.
