We See You

We FEEL you
as you beg for bottles and spare change
and shove aluminum siding
stripped from the side of
someones home, into
a grocery cart you stole
with no shame
we feel you
And your children feel you too.

We watch you
as you kiss and fondle
other men other women
ANYBODY but us.
down low and boldl, out right
with no shame andMORE LOVE
than you have for your own mother
we watch you
And your children watch you too.

We listen
as you slander and label us ALL
libelously for the WHOLE world to hear
and judge us
ALL of us
as loud, uncouth, complaining
BLACK BITCHES
we hear you
and your children hear you too.

We see you
hand cuffed and shackled
drugged up
And thugged out
pimped and STILL pimping.
Stepping on us
stepping over us
as if your Black mother
never gave birth to you.
we see you
and your children see you too.

There is not a star in the sky
that has shined brighter
than the love
we once had
there is no sex more
pure or passionate
between lovers
than the love we have made
there is nothing that will
tear asunder
that which God has bound

God see you,we see you,
we feel you
we MISS you

We need you.

Hi, Patricia:
The poem is moving and meaningful.
(1) Who is the original author?... (i don't quite 'get' what "an old Black", means.)
(2) What's your interpretation of the poem?; what is it saying, in your view?
(3) Does it closely reflect your own sentiments?

to Mister J:I wrote it , unfortunately I had the type to large and it cut off the bottom which read: "written by an old black lady (-me-) that remembers what real Black mean used to be like."

No offenese to anyone

To new York: It means we have been with Black men through thick and thin. It means the HARD headed people in the bible- running through the desert for 40 years is US- and it means that when ALL the dust blows over WHATEVER GOD deems as right will BE RIGHT. Regardless of what man chooses as HIS RIGHT! It means that Black Men are wounded. It means that -STOP- stop insulting us ALL- Be with WHOM you choose- but STOP shouting to the WHOLE world that ALL Black women are negative and unworthy. It simply is not true. You cannot lump us all into video vixens- it is UNFAIR. If you love a white woman- THEN LOVE HER! But don't HTE us for your choice. And don't explain it. If your love is real you don't have to explain it or explain why. Those that don't want Black women should just leave them be. When you say these things it sounds as if YOU not only don't want them but you don't want ANYBODY to want or respect them. Most people outside our race are making opinions about ALL Black women based on the shit they see on TV and cable-There are MILLIONS of Black women. Love whom ever you choose-Just don't bury Black women in the process. I hope I answered your question.

May I ask, Ms. Patricia, what age range are you in (since you referred to yourself as "an old lady")?
And, also, have you, yourself, had positive, long-term relationships w/ BM that included children (since you refer to children in your poem)?
('hope i'm not being too nosey).
