speaking in tongues

ye're possibly maybe not the person i would ye were

when i met ye and then what i would ye could attain

what am i doing here speaking in yon archaic jargon, would i even be what i wote i be

which is what?

some educated scholar- academia brainwashed

wallowing in the past- borrowing creativity from dead forefathers and mothers

but more so the former because well they just seemed to get heard more

borrowing resentments

how about we all stop crying and whining

resenting and talking shit

venting, complaining and just get on with it

this business called living

and succeeding

and just being happy

or sad or angry but being right now

right here - in this moment

naught but a bunch of wussies

girly girls and nancy boys

hard ass ice queens & machismo misogynists

or veritable facsimiles thereof

lets all just take a collective midol

how about that chill pill, whens it coming along?

do whatever ya need

disassociate, lubricate, narcoticate but do it

without the kvetching, without the woe-in is me

without the rue-ing and should've-ing and could've-ing

do it just do it

and do it now

cause we can bitch and we can moan until the end of time

but nothings ever changing till we start accepting each other with compassion

appreciating, recognizing, representing -we all gotta represent what we know to true

claiming our power not our lowly stations

not our frustrations

claiming our higher selves our god selves and teaching our children to do the same.
