POETRY – WIDOW'S PROPERTY RIGHTS
TITLED
“I YEARN FOR THOSE DAYS LONG GONE BY”
“I YEARN FOR THOSE DAYS LONG GONE BY”
BY AKECH OBAT MASIRA
(MISANGO ARTS ENSEMBLE)
(HAPPY SONG)
I YEARN FOR THOSE DAYS
LONG GONE BY
DAYS OF SUNSHINE
DAYS OF HAPPINESS
DAYS WHEN WE WERE TOGETHER
DAYS OF FAMILY UNION
DAYS OF HUMAN RIGHTS
AS OUR CHILDREN SHOUTING “BABA” “BABA” “BABA”
AND YOUR
LAUGHTER FILLING SPACE
AND I
IN THE KITCHEN
PREPARING EVENING MEALS
I YEARN FOR THOSE DAYS
LONG GONE BY
WHEN OUR DEAR LOVE
WAS AROUND
HIS VOICE, OUR COMFORT
BREEDING HOPE
AND HAPPINESS
THEN ALL WAS WELL
AS HUMAN BEINGS WITH
GOD GIVEN RIGHTS
RIGHTS TO DIGNIFY
RIGHTS TO PROPERTY
RIGHT TO SAY YES OR NO
YES HUMAN RIGHTS, OUR RIGHTS, HUMAN RIGHTS
(SAD SONG)
LONELY HARVESTER CAME WITH HIS CRUEL KNIFE SHARPENED TO REAP OUR SWEET FRUIT
FRUIT OF OUR LIFE, FRUIT OF OUR HOPE
HELPLESS AS WE ARE
SADLY WATCHING OUR LOVE LEAVE WITHOUT FAREWELL
AS WE WAILED SAD DEMISE.
AS OUR EFFORTS TOILED
TAKEN AWAY IN BROAD DAY LIGHT
AS RELATIVES JEERS AND CHEERS
TITLE DEEDS TAKENAWAY BY IN-LAWS
SAYING A WIDOW HAS NO RIGHTS
FOR A WIDOW IS ALSO A PROPERTY AND PROPERTY CANNOT OWN A PROPERTY
(HAPPY SONG)
I YEARN FOR THOSE DAYS, LONG GONE BY
THEN I WAS A HUMAN BEING
A BEING WITH DIGNITY
A BEING WITH A VOICE
A BEING WITH HUMAN RIGHTS
A BEING THAT CAN
SAY YES OR NO
AND NOT A PROPERTY BEING
(HAPPY SONG)
MAMA MAMA DAYS LONG GONE BY ARE STILL HERE
A WIDOW HAS ALL RIGHTS
RIGHTS TO HEALTH, RIGHTS TO PROPERTY
WHAT A WIDOW HAS NOT IS A HUSBAND
