Poetry of Jaded X

I once heard to not look where you fall but to where you have slipped.

My mind wonders if in fact... I was actually tripped....

I float in and out of confusion and anxious worry

While my heart ponders why the rest of me is in such a hurry.

I believe in giving others the benefit of the doubt

I believe in finding the pieces of the puzzle out

I have faith that there are a few good souls

Who have their head on straight and attain their goals

I trust in my beliefs, and respect that of others

I don't walk around and covet what's anothers'

I get mine and remain focused and strong

So why is it Men intend to do Women wrong?

What is it that makes Men act a fool?

Can't they see their Woman is a jewel?

Or is it she's not " hood" or "ghetto" enough,

And thats the reason Men run around and play tough?

Men tell us to be honest, to " Keep it Real"

To be the " Ride or Die" type, with attitude of steel

But when they get the loyalty and honesty they seek

They turn around and act a fool, as temptations make them weak..

"Women" does not mean 'lower then'

Do not look down upon us because you are Men,

Recognize we are the very simple key

Open up your Third Eye and Cee

We walked the same path of humiliation

As Blacks we built this AmeriKKKan Nation

So don't look down upon your women with disgust

Learn to build with us a constructive trust.

We too see the struggle everyday we're alive

We too have to fight just to survive

When Men act as Kings, We act as Queens,

Together, we are unstoppable by any and all means.

We are all capable of the pride before the fall

Do not shame your women to build hearts behind a wall

It's so much happier when we recognize each others worth

Know that you are the Sun, and We are the Earth.

Remember the Gods help them that help themselves, & Don't look to where you fell, but look to where you slipped.......
