POEM: Voices of the Unborn
Nikiesha McMaster - Friday, June 22nd, 2012 at 7:14 AM
You called our mother barren
But how can we be children to a man who ain’t caring
To be his trophies, and give him bragging rights
One who won’t be there to hear us cry at nights
You want us to see you use your hand and words to hurt our mother
And as you ignore her by spending time out with another
We see how you treat the ones you already got
And you want us to be God’s gifts to you? Oops! We think not.
You See we didn’t believe in your lies like our mother did
That’s why when you came looking for us, we hid
We’re not being pessimists but realists
We don’t want to be children to a womanizing opportunist
It’s necessary for you to be a man and show me how to be one
And for your daughter to set the standard of royalty, not for one’s fun
We’re looking for someone who’ll be there from conception til we grow up
And when that guy arrives, that’s when we’ll show up.
