To Nikki:
As life was given to man a woman was there to understand Her place beside her king for in life we understand what that means She is the barer of our children the beginning of love She is all that a man is not as is a man all she is not No compromise just realize that she is gifted in her own way thus begins my true poetry.
Excuse Me"Black Woman"
You forgot who watched as we were held down You forgot who was there and heard those sounds You forgot they kicked me out of the house You forgot and called me a traitor about to be killed You forgot because you listened to him and forgot about me You forgot so many things and now you tell me I have an excuse What excuse that we have suffered and continue to suffer What excuse that you took the jobs that we worked so hard to get What excuse What excuse but to you I am an excuse Excuse me as I try to hold my family together Excuse me as nothing I do is good enough for you Excuse me for being a man trying to do the best that I can Then you raise my son as he plays with guns Excuse me Excuse me All these things and I can not stop loving you All these things and when we are together this earth shakes thats true All these thing these done by these so called Raiders Yet you listen to him and become my traitor. Excuse me
I love my sisters but have come across a lot who think just because I am a person of color and have a degree that the white world sees me the same as my BF counterpart and it is not true it is only to wake up those who do not have any thought of what is being said to them and taught to them. I see a nation of C.E.O BF's who believe that they should put down the so called BM because they are not trying hard enough.
Even thought a BM had more qualifactions this white world loves to make sure that the sister is on top of the brother it is their natural order.
The reaction by most is like your name "Revolutionary Suicide" lol, But as most have read it they love it and understand the real meaning of the term Black to me thus they do not proclaim themselves apart of what I have written unless they see themselves in the book., lol
