Omadhan
I clap my hand over my mouth to keep quiet
hear the women going on about what they don't get
how sick they are of their husbands, mates
no sex, no money, no freedom
and their kids are leaving
hey sister
your life is your own
those kids will be gone
get your man and begin again
or guess what?
there's a woman waiting for him
been waiting for him
when you cast him out
when you turn your back in bed one too many times
and he will be more greatful for her love and attention
than the ten minutes you gave him
in the last 20 years.
Omadhan: Idiot (gaelic)
