Ideal Black woman

Here is an ideal. May she live up to the ideal from the dream she came to this lifetime to fulfill. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

6.2.15

 

Woman, see yourself?

If I was a photograph would you see the ‘art’?
Or the body parts of a common tart?

Would you have the nerve to curse my curves?
Get on my last nerve and cause my hurt?...

Now that I’m a cartoon, we sing the same
Tune…a fact of which I’m not immune

Art is a craft carved from the heart
Derived from God’s creative start

Porn is a pawn of Satan born to bring to
Man a darker dawn

Haters gotta hate that I appreciate but
Men gotta mate and I gotta stimulate

But I am not a Facebook whore…who
Drops her draws for men galore

I am the imagination’s paint so
Please do not my body taint…

"Mr. Charles, your insight in words says a lot I appreciate and dig. I get into the way you sing songs into a younger mind's consciousness without judging, but clarifying for the less thoughtful and articulate who they are with a glance towards who they might become." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4.29.15

"Joyful are those who dwell in peace,
Peaceful are those who dwell in love,
Loving are those who dwell in forgiveness,
Forgiving are those who dwell in understanding,
Understanding are those who dwell in wisdom,...
Wise are those who dwell in wisdom,
Wise are those who dwell in joy."

~ Arnold Fox, M.D. (Taken from the book, 'Beyond Positive Thinking')
