#Jealousy vs. pity
If some man pursues a woman
You want to thwart it outright
As you cannot digest it
More from jealousy, not pity.

Do you love your name?
She likes to be called mummy by children,
Honey by husband, aunty by young ones,
Madam by strangers and by many more
But not by Kamala which is her name.
She herself calls herself ‘I’, not Kamala,
And if called Kamala, feels disrespected.
Why must she have then her name?

No adulation
Humility is a weight
Only to the weighty people.
It is a curse to you and me.
Simplicity is wealth
Only to the wealthy people.
It is a shame to you and me.
They deserve no adulation.
We reserve all humiliation

My deity is my rival
My family deity stood
As my rival before me
When my son chose to name
His son after the deity’s,
Instead of my name.

Be realistic
Pity in tones
Weighs less than
Succour in grams.
Advice in reams
Spans less than
Guidance in bits.
