Let women be women or
Whomever they decide to be
But as for you,
No choice but to be a man
This is no debate
Be forged in decisiveness
Built in progress
Regain thy masculinity
So thy sanity
God is your head & no other
Not sister, brother or mother
Be forged!
Be a man!
Be
A
Man
Dear Men,
Women are incredible beings
Amazing to the core
Gifted and able to do everything but one, they can birth a man child but can never make him a man.
Men are forged not raised
Hammered for hard life
To give wife & children soft life
Men ware forged not born.
Men are forged built & made
She can’t be your provider, priest and maid
Toxic masculinity kills her feminine
Be simple but not a simp
Have a aggression but not aggressive
Have a program not be programmed
Be meek but not weak
Be silent yet speak
Be a man
Be forged
Be forged!
Young man
Young woman
How did thou return to the gutter
from whence thou came?
Shall the chains of familiarity bind thee till thy death?
Young man
Young woman
Soon you’ll be old
And this is the story that will be told?
Rise up, no longer young one
Rise up!
For it is today.
Acceptance isn’t easy
Growth isn’t easy
Having a rship with God isn’t easy
Making hard decisions isn’t easy
Life’s hard
Literally everything is hard
The easiest thing to do is to choose your hard
And even that is difficult
But u must decide
U must!
Will u?
Choose
Then
Continue
Grateful for all God has done and continue to do.
33 years in the making
33 years a king
And in the fullness of time
God will reveal everything 🌱
“When all this comes true—and it surely will—then they will know...”
Ezekiel 33:33
I hope you know how much I love thee
I hope that brings you peace
That I wish things were different
And we were kindreds in time & space
May spring bring you all the love you deserve but has been too afraid to ask or seek 💗
Roundabout
Go out
No strength
Can’t shout
Mental donuts
Turning about
All pending
No task ending
Gutted and rusted
Reduced tires
I’m tired
Tried
But burnt out
😞
The tale of two sisters
Both lovely
Sweet like Candy
Singer like R Kelly
Two gems
Younger & older
Funny but funnier
Tall & short
Softer & hotter
Night & day
Conversing with both
I can see
God’s chosen
Both first class
Treasures found
And to be known ❤️🌱
Here it’s always winter
White trees, white faces
Contrary to home
Black these and they
The wind of change blew
Sweeping me off my feet
May success catch me
And in romance dance
Foreign land
West Indian native
Far from home
Maple leaf
Here for education & higher wages
Multicultural multilingual
I speak French to Chinese
Not polyglot
Just from my mouth to my gut
I speak Chinese take out, not Mandarin
Tantalize my taste buds marinade of tamarind
French fries, chicken thighs
I can’t see you l, only seafood
Dips and chips
All flow to my hips
Do you like my poems?
Do you like the way I write?
Do you like how my literal device is inserted?
Sorry, literary devices*
Do like how my words were spun,
How they still play on your mind?
Can we be similes is, as, like?
As in, you want me as much as I do you?
Dear past Experience,
You were the one that I needed today
Dear pastimes spent on the sidelines, side pieces to main dishes,
I hope you move beyond being an appetizer or a sweet treat
Become the main course
Dear present-er, be true to you for us, always a gift 💝
