A TRIBUTE TO OUR WIVES
by Drake Omonode
We know
our wives
They are
beautiful and need no tons of photos to confirm it
We know our wives
Busy as
the bee they have no time to look classy, stylish or trending
They have
no time for big bums, pumped chests, multiple-pierced ears, pierced nostrils, colored
faces, elongated and colored hairs, and waxed eyelids
We know
our wives
They fight
us but never wear jean trousers to sleep
We know
our wives
They put
on wrappers not because they have no taste of fashion but because they were never
fashionable in the first place. I guess they never had time for it
We know
our wives
They are
the real heads of the home, they are our brainbox and second mothers
They
advise, teach, sometimes instruct and then wait for us to accent or veto it
We know
our wives
They are
the reasons why we are close GOD. Not attending 7am prayers can cause world war
9. Some of them even tell us to kneel down and lay hands on us
We know
our wives
They may
not speak Queens English but her body language is more apt than that of the Queen
of the English.
We hear
her voices inside our soul. With such hearing ability you can’t forget to buy
bread on your way home
She speaks
inside her mind and we can hear from our work station "Papa Desmond make
sure you don’t come to this house empty handed"
We know
our wives they don’t drag equal rights with us, they instead drag for special privileges
because they are “our wives”
We know
our wives
They give
us peace of mind when we demand for it
We know
our wives
Beneath the
shouting and quarrelling they love us more than we love them, and sometimes
love us more than they love themselves
Indeed we
know our wives
They are
few and we are few
We know
them when we see them but they don’t know us when they see us
They pray
for a man that doesn’t exist and end up with the best of men like us
We pet
them until they become our wives because when they are in, they can’t be out. They
are not part of the “divorce” generation
Please leave
our wives, it is not by force to be feminist, value-free, free-spirited or globalized
Please leave
“our embodiments of peace mind” for us. Stop converting them to “our girls”
Live and
let our wives live. Stop depleting them for us. We want to be able to differentiate
between “our wives” and “our girls” stop confusing us.
