SISTERS

A Poem by Shay Renee

Just a little heart to heart

Sisters
 
Sisters! This ain’t no love poem cause I’m simply tired of that s**t
Tired of talking bout broken hearts, how we were’s, or who we should’ve been wit
I came to realize I represent another black girl who society wants to abuse
Welfare, projects, or domestic violence, sisters we gone be misused
 
America! Land of the free, home of the brave
Be dainty, know your place, don’t curse, sit back feet crossed at the ankles, and behave
Because behind every great man there’s a great woman they say
But now and days men done disappeared and women still remain
Raising children, working two jobs, head of households
There woes, their agony, tears untold
They smile, push on and act as if it’s all good
Nation saying stand up for your rights, but in their minds they wish a b***h would
 
Sisters, sending my younger sisters off to college
Praying that we’ll get what they never had, knowledge
Of a better life, a brighter hope, a tomorrow, if not for us do it for them
If I could tell my sisters anything I’d say you don’t have to depend
On anybody, on anyone, long as in God we Trust
For us sisters’, living on for them is a must
 
For every 1 parent house hold, we need a lawyer
We need a congress woman, for all the abused daughters
We want a doctor for all the addicts and fiends
For all the prostitutes, we need a court supreme
Another Oprah, not just another hoe
Sisters there is so much we must stand up for
Not another baby mom or another b***h
Sisters we must use what God endowed us with
Power, strength, dignity that’s what sisters are
Stand up my sister’s, near and far
And if my name is slaughtered or this is titled as s**t
Don’t matter to me cause my sisters we’re worth it!
