Poet’s Row

Peace,

It’ll never set my mind at east/ of how this is a patriarchal society/ I think what ever began it needs to find release/ I mean I can never find in me/ the desire to objectify, or be a sexist guy. I was raised by a woman/ and spent life watching them controlling/ tried to be a source of support and/ nothing that was stolen/ I’d bet most grand ideas came from a mind of a female/ denying that is where we fail/ listen to how this seed tells/ about Soujurner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells/ Angela Davis, Assata Shakur/ Afeni who is a prophet for sure/ I swear to y’all I won’t be source of toxic manure/ I tell all girls under my teachings/ that they are capable of anything that they set their minds to reaching/ house wife is a choice but I’m thinking Doctor maybe president/ its evident/ that the battles before and after the seventies/ is setting in/ Love to all women/ especially the ones who serve as a gateway/ into the world and a sane brain/ God bless y’all as you maintain/ Love y’all Nakupenda.

Ase’ Love, ADQ
