Chasing Lions

Chasing Lions

A Poem by Keliy Nicolaites Kese

I will not chase lions
I will not run after the hunter
I will not head dress myself in yo mane.
That makes no sense!
I will not sew your genitals over my own
To go running after you,
When my desire is to the husband who
Dares to declare he has a backbone
Goldensealed to every one of his ligaments
Knit to perfection to formulate the
Formula which makes the muscles
In his limbs jump at the chance
To hunt me down like a
Wildebeest in the wild
Non stop
And the scorching heat
Of night and day that
Threatens to leave him parched
Means absolutely nothing to him
Because He’s hungry for me
I ain’t chasin’ no lions
I cannot race after love until it so desires
To tackle me in the dirt
‘Cause cute Little Simba wouldn’t know Nala
Was worth bucking up for till she asked him
“What’s so great about the water hole?”
Translated: “You ain’t no king, homie.
You lookin’ like every other no good brotha
Impressed that you got away with
Buzzin off that peach fuzz you
Wearing on you head that you got from
Yo knocked out daddy’s noggin’
In middle of the night.
Stop calling me during my bath time, son
You are trippin’!”
Why should I be chasin’ lions?
What shall befall his lot
When his lioness can no longer dart after his heart for 9 months?
Perhaps that is why some ah y’all ain’t exclusive right?
But what will you do
Should a real soldier come
The way you never knew how to?
Cause I was too busy chasing you!!!
How will you hold up with one
Who underwent that training
In cold. Hell. Sleet. Raining.
Who refused brushing the blood out
His eye
For infrared sighting in the night
To see when my heart would burn bright enough
To quit molestin y’all cubs
Who could not nevah deny that
He will light fires to every pride
To find the rib from his side.
Who don’t know nothin bout nothin
But the thrillah his chase
Who thinks you a chump
Who don’t have no Instagram selfies
Who ain’t got no friends on Facebook
Cause he’s too busy liking when
He watches my anxious
apprehension to have him go live!
Who took the vagabond backpack off Cain’s back
So that God wouldnt have to keep grieving
His daughter’s losing fathers
And tryna make up for it by chasin fuzzy females with penises.
Who ain’t scared to love, truly.
Holy. Godly.
I do not chase lions.
Not because they are impossible to find,
Nor are they extinct
They are created by lionesses like me
Who refuse to chase you
So you can actually know what it means
To be the king you keep telling everyone you are
