Poet Introduction
I write from emotion
#AFRICA
She feeds nations but fails to breast feed her own
she is the epitome of wealth,my Africa
But they will not let her harvest her own
She has endowed her children with knowledge
Ask about the brain drain
Yes,she is beautiful,beauty packed and sold
beauty that does not at all benefit her
They know how to crawl in
they called it 'development loans'
sunk her in so deep in debt she can barely float
Africa,the land that once thrived on authenticity
The land that the Creator blessed with so much melanin
Her children now scrap it...
she is the epitome of wealth,my Africa
But they will not let her harvest her own
She has endowed her children with knowledge
Ask about the brain drain
Yes,she is beautiful,beauty packed and sold
beauty that does not at all benefit her
They know how to crawl in
they called it 'development loans'
sunk her in so deep in debt she can barely float
Africa,the land that once thrived on authenticity
The land that the Creator blessed with so much melanin
Her children now scrap it...

sometimes i get high on my own emotions
I am a lover
I need so much...
I take too much.
Give in equal measure
Its not greed
Its the thirst
Thirst for self identity
Thirst to identify with you
Thirst to fill up holes that i dug up
I need to feed from your emotions
maybe your testosterone might balance my hormones
but well i forgot i bore you too
selfish as a man near climax
self consumed
its almost always about quenching you before me
I am a lover
I need so much...
I take too much.
Give in equal measure
Its not greed
Its the thirst
Thirst for self identity
Thirst to identify with you
Thirst to fill up holes that i dug up
I need to feed from your emotions
maybe your testosterone might balance my hormones
but well i forgot i bore you too
selfish as a man near climax
self consumed
its almost always about quenching you before me

MR MAN
There is more to the swaying hips that seduce
There is more to the plump ripe still standing breasts you see
There is so much more to this succulent buttocks
Much more than will ever meet your eye
Yes Mr. Man
There is a human being behind all that
There is a delicate being waiting to be unveiled
There is the person who can create and destroy at ago
There is the force behind nature
Woman created you
Do you really think there is something
you can do that your creator cant?
Do you think you can play lawyer as we remain...

There is the force behind nature

Do you think you can play lawyer as we remain...
