Fool Me!!

Fool me once
Shame on me
Fool me twice
The time for reflection is in that moment.

Only my moment
Has dawned past
Past its expiration date.

In a haze
Life becomes a never ending maze
Caught in all the world's craze
And I'm standing amid it in a daze.

Not knowing
But fighting continuosly through
Nurturing, Caring, Sharing, Soothing you
All the while Mentally, Spiritually, Physically
Making Do

The definition of a woman explained
Life of a Black woman famed
This is who we are, what we are born to be

Tragically,
Many stand alone
Trying to carry that burden on her own

Unappreciated
Underloved
Lied to
Beaten
Led astray

Her very essence toyed with
Leaving our society in disarray

How can anyone gow to love, to live, to be in better place when her womb gives life and she is impergnated with the turmoil in her soul?
