National Poetry Month - Respect Me!

(The track "Alpha Male" by Mars Ill sets the mood) 

Respect Me!

“Respect Me!”

My great ideas

Not

my bellybutton ring

                     my Bossoms

                           my Booty

“Respect Me!”

See Me For Me

Not what you can get…

              From me

“Respect Me!”

Look into my eyes…

              UP HERE! Those.. are NOT … my eyes

I am not a service…

                                  a Commodity

                                         A slave

                                                Your power play

“Respect me”

Your Hands…

              Here (clasp together)

              Not…

here (make fig leaf across chest)

Cat Calls?

              I am not … a cab

Respect her… 

Let her rise…

as jesus did….
