as women
we should
cook
clean
mind our offspring
make sure you release often
in some cases bring home the bacon
pick up the tab
stroke your ego
launder your laundry
scrub your dishes
put up with your excess bitches...
i sit and think
men want us to be supernatural
at which point
we realize
and render you useless
other than for the item that lies between your legs
because the muscle that rests between your shoulders
provide obstacles that prove to hold women in modern day slavery
to your rules
your tests
your waivers of fidelity and infidelity, and all acts in between
we stand, or should stand by you
because you are incapable of error
incapable of forgiveness
and lack the ambition to engage in the dual perspective
you are God on earth...
No.
i am
not an
angry black woman
but i have observed too many standards being held way above our heads
and boys; self-proclaimed men
dangle these ideals
in the air
when, the last time i fact checked
many of you
don't have
anything to offer me in return for my lengthy duties and services
you
should
wait
on me
hand and foot
wait for me to come home at 4am
because i,
unlike you
posses ambition that you can build a fortress with
i come to your table baring gifts
sadly,
the only items on your table are the
gifts that i have brought to you...
