A Poem To Us Women - A male perspective

As I looked at her and her action
I went to askin’
Why would he or anyone want to hurt her
Why would he or anyone desert her
When by nature she was made for him
And that’s grim in the eyes of the most beneficent creature on this earth
So since he doesn’t know her worth
God gives her His wisdom of mothering nature
So that His greatest creation starts to hate her
Starts to debate with her pertaining to what “he” should and should not do
Strikes her across the face, places her sense of value in the dirt
Not knowing when a seed grows from being placed in darkness
It manifests all you have attempted to squirt
Sparkles you have become while she starts on her shine
McDonald’s is where you eat while at Heavens Table is where she dines
Fine she done got, Myla, Radley, Seville Row she now rocks
Ferragamo, Manolo Blahnik is how she now stops traffic
While you are still attracted to MCM and Fubu addicts
It’s a travesty that she has more than one Masters Degree
And you are in your prime and still ain’t got your G.E.D.
She paid your child support fees, provided for the apartment y'all once shared
And you had the audacity to think and act like she didn’t care
You should be the poster child for stupid, for believing in that lil naked-ass cupid
And not doing what God ordained for you to do, for your given love
Now she’s above and beyond any of your wildest expectations
Traveling to native places you cannot even pronounce,
Speaking in forums where you couldn’t even be the grout in the john
You denounced her beauty and won now you’re stunned that Princes are suitors
From Morocco to Djibouti, they want your X “cutie”
And when she comes home, no one thinks she’s snooty
Looking so-so good her outlook on things is that of the Wisdom God gave to her
And the people find a favor in her that surpasses all the venom you’ve spewed
So until you get yourself together dude and release yourself of that heavenly facade
She will be steadily moving giving thanks to you for your negative dissertation
Which pushed her to be that Woman of God
