I Miss Her

CATEGORY

life

Views: 1393

Her name was murmured in trash filled alley ways, as ghetto life drowned out her existence

She stayed on the lips of weak minds that pimped her for their personal agendas

Fake pretenders flirted with her, but too ignorant to recognize her worth

Powers that be scared to face her, as they run and hide when she came on the scene expressing bold convictions

Even great Dr.Martin Luther King had dreams about her

Malcolm X so proud of her, he protected her values by all means necessary!

Adversaries handled her mean, dismantled her dreams keeping the masses sleep on her

I myself try to keep her close by my side, for I have so much pride in her, confided in her to have my back

Sad that negative impulses beat her down, and she don't come around as often

Until blood stain coffins with bodies slain by another black hand her name is callin

Mothers ballin under dim street lights, tears falling clutching lifeless bodies of their children screams out her name

Is it her I blame, for the shame and endless pain that reeks havoc in our broken and shattered communities?

For her name I pen in this piece is....

BLACK UNITY!

Man...I Miss Her

Heartfelt vibe. I liked the way you started off apparently describing a single person, then segued into a universal social entity. Effective!

"Fake pretenders flirted with her, but too ignorant to recognize her worth" Particularly loved that live, but if I were to quote each one that grabbed me, I'd pretty much quote the entire piece. Fabulous personification, I miss her too, and feel an inkling of her return. You've captured the pulse of her essence.

SMusinga says:

Ronnie: What a beautiful poem. I can picture it in my mind. So lovely! The flow the discerption are all so wonderful! It grapples ideas that are difficult, intriguing, exciting, disturbing, meaningful, compelling—you get the drift. You’re using the best form to convey your ideas, made perfect word choices, powerful images, cut out everything unessential and you are giving away neither too little nor too much. Great poem!
