Revenge of the Smart Chicks
name of an album or movement?
Depends on how much of it you take to heart
I see this sister as the Tyra Banks of poetry
trying to unite and enlighten woman
by what she can do with her voice and pen

Beautiful

understatement
also unrelated
cause she market her mind
not the curves of her hips and behind

Brilliant

now that sounds more like it
thru cyberspace she sends me
pieces of home to cure the sickness
of missing poetry as I once knew it
with all it's richness
so it's almost like I'm right there
back with my people

Inspiring

She sure is
make me remember
I was protesting the prostitution
of person's person via the pen
long before I joined certain
"poetry" sites
so I am indeed inspired
by this poetess

Enlightened

with the wisdom
that it will take a village
to raise our seeds and more than
hot lines on a mic to fulfill our people's needs
and those of all of humanity
and I almost put the pen down
but then I started reading her words
and the confirmation of God
that I was on the right path
was all I heard

Blessed

I am to have met her
is E to have her as his partner
are we that she even cares enough to share
demanding genius as if it's a dare
and dismissing genre without a care
cause she know like I know
keeping oneself in a box
limits the ability to grow
to full potential

Thankful

Indeed I am
and I want to thank you ma'am
cause you reminded me I do this
like I do this - and all won't like
but I'll always have the love and support
of my fam
and that's all I need
so into 2009 with a renewed resolve
to piss off whoever wants to remain ignorant
I shall happily proceed
preaching peace and prosperity
to the people
praying that they take heed

and to you Queen...

I just pray you touch everything of which you have ever dreamed
