POEM: WHO AM I? (BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND)

Originally Published January 25, 2009

I'm Mary J. Blige giving you the 411
And I won't stop until the war is won
I'm the Salt with a Deadly Pepa
Aiming higher, never settling for lesser

I'm Angela Bassett, Halle, Jada, and Taraji
I'm the one redefining what a bad b**ch is
I'm Janet Jackson on stage and I'm in Control
I'm the Psalms 23 verse restoring your soul

I'm TLC the one who's all crazy, sexy, and cool
I'm the one that's taking all my homies to school
I'm the heart & diamond suiting your deck of cards
I'm the reason the boys fight in middle school yards

I'm the one you hold at night
kicking sweetness in my ear
And when we are making love
I'm Beyonce AND Sasha Fierce!

I'm Oprah, Tyra, and I'm First Lady Michelle
I'm the one encouraging all the youth to do well
I'm Sister Souljah speaking about The Coldest Winter Ever
I'm Rihanna's umbrella who sheilds through the stormy weather

I'm the one leading those who are darker than blue
I'm the one accepting myself while I'm loving you
I'm the one putting my brothers and sisters in check
So you better remember to give me my respect!!!

WHO AM I? YOUR BLACK QUEEN

HAPPY WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH TO ALL MY SISTERS!!!

Respect, just goofin off.
I like the way it links different generations and reaches outside the lines to pull other mind in. It takes a piece of everyone that we all know and connects it on a level that you see yourself in the lines. Poetry is a lost art. Some of the best music could have been poerty if sang acsapella. (I aint spellcheckin it!) Marvin Gaye use to put peotry to music.

Good thread.

Hmmm...not so sure of what I just looked at (LOL). It isn't often that I write poetry but I'm glad you liked it dear brother.

Much Love,
