"...why all the bickering over that brotha?
that man chose one, two...three
but in the end hell ignites between you and me
we can battle all day about what he sees
in you, me or her
but when it comes right down to that thang
evidently it's pretty much the same
since we're all his babies' mamas...
...sistahs i don't wanna fight!
put away your dukes, gun and knife
maybe it's in his nature
or some ancient African custom
to help life thrive through production of tribes...
and perhaps it's not just more offspring
that bring our men - Kings - to this thing... polygamy..."
(excerpt from original poem - CONVERSATION)
DO MEN NEED MANY WOMEN?
From Abraham, Moses, Solomon, Muhammad (PBUH)... to daddy, uncle, brother, lover & all in between polygamy has been seen. Oh, sure we say we live in a monogamous society, but are we?
I ask 'DO MEN...' because most times when women find that special one and are all in love and giddy... unless provoked by our man's infidelity, we usually stay faithful. (Usually is the operative word, y'all) However, it seems alot of men (not all men) stray whether he has a good thing or not.
I mean, we can whip up a full course meal everyday, in nothing but a thong and stelleto heals on... be a freak in the bed, a lady in public... pamper, massage and some brothas still dodge monogamy.
I've been intrigued by this thing... because it seems Biblically and Quranically God has made polygamy an acceptable thing for men.
Sistahs before y'all start bashing, let me assure you I'm not encouraging... i'm just asking... DO MEN NEED MANY WOMEN?
Could it be we're blinded by what this society shows as relationships and love? I know so many of us say 'not my man'... hell, i said the same until we talked openly, honestly and he began to explain some thangs...
Oh, we've gone back and forth and it actually took some time for me to look at the issue w/o tissue and anger. He insists most guys are like this, but just won't be honest with their women. What y'all think...
