Gentleman

Hide behind written words
blame me if you must
but we all must
answer for our own actions
I am no more than
what
you would have me to be
and I needed to be more
than that
I will admit
say nothing
and I will remove all
give me disrespect
and I can only
expect your harvest
to be dire
I am a goddess
I am from the Divine
and am divine
do no harm to me
sow no ill will
change must come
as your mind demands
but leave this port
with kind words
loving gestures
and sweet good-byes
so that one day
you may return
Silence loudly
speaks of you
turning away
rudely, arrogantly
with no dignity
and no honor
Look in the mirror
and speak to your fate
arrogantly you hope for
grace
mercy
and understanding
yet you offer none

burn no bridge
Stand up
Man
Gentle

I take no great pride in saying this, I am merely stating a fact. It is not that I was born this way-rather, I was born into this male-dominated society, and consequently, from the very moment I began forming thoughts, they formed in a decidedly male-centered way. My "education" at home with my mother, at school, on my neighborhood playgrounds, and at church, all placed males in the middle of the universe. My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ...

Aquarius Rising - Authentically Me

Aquarius Rising - Sy Smith I'm not one to really get into Zodiac signs and yet I'm fascinated the astrological relationship to our spirits. I know we all still blame the moon for man's "lunacy". When I read about the sign of Aquarius, I'm taken by how much it does describe me. I'm not guided by astrology but I do recognize its connection to the Universe. Some don't realize how man used astrology throughout the bible as a guide for God's people. But this isn't about astrology and the Christian faith but me being the fabulous Aquarius female that I am. This is me, basically...READ ON Aquarius (The Sun is in Aquarius from approximately January 20 to February 18, depending on the year). One of the standout characteristics of those born under the Sun Sign of Aquarius is their unwillingness to follow the beaten track. With ...
