Explode

So you exhaled and portrayed me as listless

loveless, worthless and unfaithful.

That was your right because I know I've

scorned you, mistreated you, beat you and degraded you

then deserted you for one that looks nothing like me.

I can admit that.

Yet here I most invoke Christianity and ask how dare

you cast stones.



You stray from me the common brother with dirty nails

from hard work because its glitter and gold you seek.

I work hard to get above the status quo and you leap all

bounds to suck me with no pleasure leach like.

I call you on falsified filled wombs.

Robbery of my hard earned dollars for fake terminations.

You've birthed nations to keep one man around.

Yet, when you realize he doesn't love you, you proclaim he ain't shit!

Now suffers the man you brought into this world.

You also lay with those unlike your skin,

abuse, cheat and degrade me.



Yes there is more to say, but at this point I'll halt, you

exhale and I'll explode, but who truly bares the fault...

This piece was very intersting to read... Me being a black woman and all! I dig the concept and the title is very fitting. All your work I've read so far has been outstanding...including this one but a few of the "You" & "and" could be thrown out and they wouldn't be missed! I'm looking for feedback as well so please visit my home page...I'd love an honest opinion from a talented person. many blessings
