Free Bilingual B, a poem of transition. No edits, it is written.

I keep procrastinating the many chores there are to do
the chores which help to make the dollars into two.
I look around and see the space I occupy
the sheets don't line up the way I like them
but I don't bother to do more than think about why.
I am stuck in the pattern of what to do,
I can't even decide if I should send her a pair of shoes.

I am blessed to be here
but it's fucked up the many reasons
I really should pack her things more,
but each time I start my heart falls apart & it feels like treason
For her life should be more than inboxed & stacked by the front door
A strong woman that likes to run her mouth
for every cause coming from the South.
For every brown brother sister & mother she fights long & hard
Throughout her life and now she's lost her cards.
Stacked up against her they scream violent, violent sinner
when her mouth was the only thing she ran,
but they claim more & we live in the land of the white man.

I love her strength and her pride
yet it gets her into trouble
& now she rots on the inside
For laws are made for loud mouthed sinners
people that are strong and make roads for new beginnings.
We are a trouble causing lot and in dog cages they'd like us to rot
but we are strong and must be Red Woods
with our roots deeply in love with all that is good.

So I will decide which box to pack
carefully label each one so she suffers no panic attacks.
She will gather the evidence her many experiences now intermixed
Before long she will be out & all that information will begin to spout
her sweet chapped lips of pink & pain will pour her tales from the prison gates.
I will sit & listen, be here to help her transition
but for now her house I will pack
& she will pace the prison tracks.

For tonight I write this poem to help sing her song
I keep going over it but this hashtag is all I got #FreeBilingualB
it's fucked up to make people rot. -The Pueblo Poetess

Freedom, the Dream

For the month of July I have chosen to focus all blogs on Freedom and Privilege, today's poetry blog continues on that journey. Before you get to far though take a moment to check out your  song of the day " Glory" by John Legend and Common. #Tunes4UrTuesday https://youtu.be/HUZOKvYcx_o Glory was created for the movie "Selma" and tells the real story of our Nations History through the trials and tribulations of our ancestors that built it through oppression, slavery, pain, and love. The type of love that only those in the darkness can truly understand and share with one another. To many people in the United States of America July is seen as a month to celebrate Freedom, and the super power that is the USA. Being able to celebrate the ideology of Freedom is not awarded to all  and some do not see July as a time for celebration but the anniversary of more dates that recognized some as worthy and others as property.  This poem is a collaboration...

Artists as Activists-Pride

Image
It has been a while since I have been able to really sit down here to write. So welcome back, and thanks for your patience as I transition again. On Fridays I usually focus on Curvy Fashion Icons and different styles that showcase the beauty of curves. As we wind down the month of June a month dedicated to celebrating the non hetero-normative better known as the LGBTQIA community "Pride" and the month where we get to joyfully celebrate Black Music History as well. I'd like to utilize this Friday to talk about an artist that has really grabbed my attention over the last few years. Angel Haze is an artist that challenges the molds of many genres not only is she a Black femcee hiphop Goddess, she's got a lot of rapper, little bit of pop, and a whole lot of truth talking story teller packed into one hard hitting honest package. She uses her drive and platform to share difficult truths about her personal history with abuse and to help eliminate many of the stere...

Privilege-Fight-Flight-or Freeze

On Sundays I try to keep things light and geared towards sensual writing, but there is just to much going on in the world to stick to that schedule, today I need to talk about privilege. If you are interested in some Sensual Sunday poetry please go read my Poetic Pillow Talk page. There is a couple of really dynamic poems from the guest poet SoulRac and myself. #SensualSunday http://whatcurvywomenwant.blogspot.com/p/pillow-talk.html First I wanna acknowledge and talk about my privilege then we'll branch out from there. I am a woman that is almost entirely of Caucasoid descent, this means I am very white. I live in the United States of America where we have practiced genocide on non-whites since at least the late 1400s. We are a country built on systematic oppression, murder, capitalism, with a touch of Socialism thrown in, dreams, hope, broken treaties, broken promises, beautiful views, and the continuously misplaced value on the voice of a white person over the voice ...
