Man-Whisperers

Man-Whisperers

A Poem by Alvin L. Kathembe

Resorting to irreverence

In a bid to remain relevant

They have our ears, they have our hearts

And they whisper…

Into our minds through tubes-

Call it thought transfusion -

Tales of murder, lies and crime

Bugattis on rims

Stacks on deck

Hoes in the back

And choppers in the trunk…

They exaggerate their lifestyle

Try their best to make us like them

Then they whisper in our ears

And make us want to be just like them

’Cause all the bad b*****s

Hang with their dawgs

None of them use their brain -

Except when they’re going down -

Yeah, all their girls be D-graded

And they’ll say anything just to sound ‘hard’

Lie about anything

Cross any line

And nobody cares, as long as it rhymes

Even when their art

Degenerates into blasphemy

We say it’s just a song

And we don’t agree with them

But we still nod our heads…

Very cool Title..I think of it as you whispering to men what a real man is like, a thinker, someone who does not degrade women or live for materials, but someone who is intellectual and has a spiritual side.....but also the title could be their songs'
messages filtering through men's subconscious mind, and although they do not agree with their worldview, it could pervade their own if they listened enough, without even realizing the change in perspective.
