You Are..

THOT

(THOT)

That hoe over there is what they’re calling them now. Don’t you realize she’s just another? She’s someone’s daughter. May even be your sister. After all she’s someone’s mother. The disrespect the world gives.

Down right shame. Try an embrace does not disgrace. Dethroning her. Can you walk a mile in her shoes? Lay up with this one, that one all in the name of the dollar? Trust and believe she has a story.

At second glance you may find similarities. Don’t condone or condemn her. Give her a hand. Uplift her. Teach her. After all she’s still a woman.

White Horse

White Horse

White horse he’s no stallion,

But he’ll sure take you for a ride!

One snort you’ll grow wings,

Fly so high,

Come down crashing,

Destroy your world,

That ole boy will have you robbing and stealing from your mother.

He’ll make you sell your soul.

The devil’s horse.

Keep you up all night,

3 days straight,

In search of your next high.

Beware of the white horse,

He comes your way,

Sending him packing,

Don’t become ...

Eyes

Eyes

The windows to our souls,

They don’t lie,

Nor hide a thought,

Eyes speak volumes.

Clearly, they seek.

Hunger,

Loneliness,

Fear,

Sorrow,

They show,

Happiness,

Joy,

Pain,

They’ll tell, your truth.

Adage says,

“A lying man can’t look into your eyes”

Out of fear,

They’ll show the lie.

The windows to the soul,

Holds secrets dear,

Yet, they cannot hide nor lie.

Behind the eyes of a lover,

You can see a burning desire for another.

Behind the eyes of a murder,

You can see where the soul is lost.

Behind the eyes of a mother or father,

You can see the pride for their child.

Behind the eyes of a child,

You can see the innocence of life.

Ey...

You Are..

You Are…

My sister,

Did you know you were born a queen?

Straight from the motherland,

A crown adorns your head.

Skin so smooth,

A variety of shades,

Carmel,

Cocoa,

Mocha,

Vanilla…

We as women are

An assortment of sizes,

Big and tall,

Short and round,

Skinny and slim…

The list goes on and on.

My sister,

Embrace your beauty!!

Stop!

With the alterations

Add – on and subtractions,

Allowing others to tell you,

How you should,

How you shouldn’t look,

Feel good!

In your own skin,

Natural beauty!

It’s ok to

Enhance,

Highlight.

That’s your choice.

Just know you’re,

Fine!!!

Beautiful!!

Sexy!!

Just the way you are.

Forgive/Forget

Forgive/Forget

Years of years of verbal abuse.

Years of being his punching bag,

Torn down,

A decade of walking on egg shells,

Afraid to speak out,

Speak up.

You say, I should forgive,

I asked how when I can’t forget?

An old lady sitting under a tree,

Stopped me,

She said “Sit next to me,

I got somethings to say.”

I sat down,

She continues,

“Take heed to my words.

For, what I say God told me to tell you”.

I thought she was crazy,

But I was hurt,

From all the pain you caused,

So, I sat and listened,

Intentionally,

Now I am telling you what,

She said to me.

This is what she had to say,

You can forgive without forgetting,

Forgiveness is for you,

My child,<...

BLACK-MAN

BLACK-MAN

Strong and powerful,

King of his home,

A leader by nature.

Inferior magnitude,

Feared by many,

Struck down before his prime,

A prideful being,

Taken from his home,

Greif stricken from his destruction,

As his watches helplessly,

His wife being raped,

His children being sold,

His father beaten,

His mother killed,

Taken from his home,

Separated from all those he loves.
 

Brought to a foreign land,

Trying to adapt,

To a new habitat,

As he’s enslaved,

Treated like an animal,

Inside of cage.

The day comes when they announce his,

 FREEDOM,

He can’t pronounce the words of his,

CAPTORUES.

Therefore, they make it harder for him to arise...

“Don’t Call Yourself A Mother”

“Don’t Call Yourself A Mother”

Being a mother is a gift,

Your child is a blessing from the heavens above,

So, many women abuse the privilege of motherhood,

From infancy to adulthood it’s your duty to love and protect your child with your life,

The same way you love, honor and respect your man.

Your man goes on a trip,

You pack his bag,

When he’s off to work you pack his lunch,

Your child goes off to school,

You don’t check his bag to make sure his homework is done,

Send him off for the weekend,

Without a change of clothes,

But you’re his mother?

Your man’s out all night,

Don’t come to the morning light,

You stay up all night crying,

Until your eyes swell shut,

Worrying yourself sick,

Your daughter stays out all night,
