    RESPECT

     This is what I speak
    My words are not bleak

    From me a brown skin African American Woman
    Who's tired of the lack of respect we get from men

    I'm conveying a message to my beautiful black sistas
    The lack of respect is not acceptable, we are everlasting

    This is what I speak
    My words are not bleak

    Black woman you are
    Powerful women of color
    Powerful women of splendor
    Powerful women of endless beauty

    Brothas you cant have the title of a King
    If you cannot respect your beautiful black Queen

    To my brothas who cant grasp what I am saying
    Let me make it very clear

    We don't wan rejection
    We want to be respected

    We don't want trouble
    We want to be honored

    We don't want to be rejected, mistreated or abused
    We don't want to be used

    We don't want stress
    We want to be blessed

    We don't want a boy
    We want a man

    We don't want to be treated like your property your possession
    We don't belong to anyone except Jesus Christ our Savior

    We don't want to be disregard or disrespected
    We want love and affection

    My brothas the message is very clear
    We will no longer shed a tear

    We are beautiful black beings
    We deserve respect and to be treated like Queens

    I loved it, you hit the nail on the head with this one, however I am not black but want the same things out of my white man. Lots of you are stronger than us though and will leave and not take the crap, I just wish I had that strength.

    You have the strenght, every woman has inner strength, some are just stronger than others. You have strenght girl you just have to learn how to use it. THis is what I meant to say. I typed to fast on the other response. My words are jumbled.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
