Where is the Compassion?

CATEGORY

life

So what can I say about Ray?

Dude fvcked up,

but got me thinking about Janay

and all these folks

calling her stupid ‘cause she stayed.

Y’all are useless.

If dude is truly abusive,

in what way

does calling her stupid support her?

Misguided or not

she’s in love with this man. Has a daughter

with this man

who she’s known since they were young.

There is NO LOVE for her in calling her dumb,

but there IS empathy in holding YOUR tongue,

restraining YOUR compulsion to type

some harsh criticism about the love of her life

criticisms that might be true,

nonetheless,

they can cut like a knife to the flesh;

I’m sure she don’t need that mess.

Homegirl needs time to reflect –

see what’s best for her and her daughter, stressed-less

by instagrams and tweets

from random people who treat

these websites like soapboxes

and preach then go gossip.

Why not instead stick your head in the ground like an ostrich?

(or even your tongue in a socket…your choice, with your phoney @sses! )
