Every Woman

Who am I ???

Every woman

It’s true

Let me introduce myself to you

From Tubman to Ross

And that’s Diana, not Betsy

I paid the cost

To be the boss

I am Eve in the garden

I am Queen of the cotton field

I am mother of all nations

I am the wildest figment of your imagination

I am the mother of your children

I am the keeper of your name

I am your wife, your friend, your comrade

I am your distressed damsel

And your confidant dame

I can strut and shake it up like Tina

I can moan like none other than Nina Simone

I can make you feel like King of everything

I can make you pant

Like a dog after a bone

I will take up arms like Angela

And free your soledad mind

And after that

Shackle you in the womb of womanly musk

And imprison you by desire’s

Ravishing lust

I am whatever the situation or condition calls for

In any given time, space or place

I Am

Woman

Lady

Female

I Am

That I Am

Yes, even that I am

Next to God

The Creatress of this human race

Election 2000

Amerika

Sweet land of liberty

Held hostage by democracy

The trump was sounded

A voice in the wilderness

Cried

“Stay out the Bushes”

Freedom to voice my choice

Am-Bushed

By Dumbo,

The republican Elephant

While being

Gore-d to the core by the Stubborn

So called democratic Jack-ass

Beware of the thorns

In them there Bushes

The confederate flag

Banners the trunk of Dumbo

As he reveals

His Neanderthal technology

Bush-whacking

His way to preside over

Amerika

Sweet land of liberty

While the Gore-y details

Of the blood

Of those who died for this right

Streak the Red, White and Blue

And pricks the finger

Of those exercising

Their democratic constitute

In the density of a ballot

As Dumbo exposes

And decomposes

The land of the free

U.S. of A.

With his peripheral vision

He vows Republican confederation

Confiscating the vote

And kidnapping

Amerika

Sweet land of liberty

Ecstasy

As the warm wisp

Of your breath

Gently dances

Across the dew

That rises

From the root

Of my love

I close my eyes

To see

The soul of you

I taste the nectar

Of sweet

Sticky

Honey

As my tongue slips

Missing your mouth

And slides

Over your glistening torso

Until every open pore

Is soaked

With hot lava

Pulsating to escape

Entwined in ecstasy

I trace every bone in your body

With tender

Fingertip touches

Sculpting a masterpiece

Wrapped in intoxicating oneness

Slowly melting

Into euphoric nothingness

Collapsing from the eruption of paradise

Caressing lifelessly

We finally kiss

And say

Goodnight

 
And it gets mo' bettah...
