Haiku Sunday

I want that someone
to go to Applebee's with
just to share stories.
         
AND

I want that someone
to understand what that means
without explaining.

In a World

We live...

In a world
where we lost our girls
to being a thot.
Got them thinking it's hot,
when really it's not.
Not,
cute when their weave
meets their cheeks
or when his pants
hang down to the top of his sneaks.

In a world
where we say we want love--
constantly on that 'bae' watch.
Mistaking that love radiates from
our hearts and not through our crotch.
So it all becomes botched
and we think it can be repaired
with a piece of tape-- Scotch.

In a world
where we don't talk
because no one will listen.
And we use these measures
in order to stand above and to glisten.
Still not paying attention
to the fact that the victim is us,
dying to their system
that's always been based off of lust.

In a world
full of chasing
because we want to be the catch.
But we're too busy thinking like men
so like ladies we don't know
how to act.

And I just wanna go back
to a world where he's not just smitten,
but where he remembers that it was written..
that when he and I was created it was good,
and by his side is where I stood.

In a world
where our value was never
degraded
nor were we ever rated by our looks,
because it was always in our words
and in our power that made the earth shook.

In a world
where we weren't classified as
a vixen or thug,
a hoe or a pimp
and everything we said
was everything we meant.
Where we took back
what was stolen
and our egos weren't swollen.

In a world
where we were able to see
what God had always planned,
a virtuous woman being the
reflection of an honorable man.

And unfortunately this may not
be the world we live in today,
but I believe we can get back there
if stop following the culture
and take the time to just pray.

Keep On Moving

Time waits for no man,
so tell me pretty lady--
why ever would you?
