t'aint my middle name (RANT)

just me talking in native tongue...sometimes it's on my nerves and it has to give

If I didn't like it I wouldn't be feeling

and if it wasn't relevant I wouldn't be talking

if it wasn't speaking to me I wouldn't be reading

cause anythang...yeah anythang t'aint my middle name

I'll just courtesy deep and take the blame

this is what I was built far ain't no shame

and do... let the blanks be filled

well it's out there now

yeah I said it

and baby I'm unapologetic so what you sweating

only way I'm sorry is if it wasn't true

or I done committed some grave moral

spiritual sin against you

I don't understand why you apologize either cause you meant it

only reason you sorry cause everybody seen you

everybody witnessed and you stepped in

ain't  nobody sorry

killin me... if you nasty

you just nasty but don't say

you got something in common with me

I'm having a spell right now

and I know you been waiting for it

wanna see me going H A M

as you know it is unwarranted

but least I ain't nasty...called being honest

now go run tell DAT!

before I say anything I get my homework did

All of your poetry uses amazing word choice. You seem to have no problem saying exactly how you feel and laying it all out there. I've never seen someone turn a rant into something so beautiful and intriguing to read. I really hope that you continue to not hesitate before you write.

Hahaha. Tit fortat; yet a longing for sanity. A great read. That homework thing works, I guess!

Whew my dahling Shirlena somebody is ashes at your feet right now.You can only hold your tongue so long before you go stark raving mad.I know it well.I loved your rant my dear friend :)

[Shirlena]

lol thanks Vid...I happened to be sitting at the computer while I was as listening to some media wranglers and it just came out. If I can not be near a pen when I hear something I have time to cool off and be rational.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Lol....loved your rant hunny and you are welcome :)

[Rosi S. Phillips]

LOVED IT! I could almost see someone stomping their foot, glaring, and receipting this poem to someone or ones who were acting foolish. Yes! Please, please write more. Your voice is so clear, so... well, unapologetic. I can't wait to read more poems. Just, great. Just great.

[Shirlena]

You know why I wrote this cause I'm so tired of hearing media comments made so offensive that you know the person meant it and then they turn around and apologize which to me makes it more offensive. The comment is usually and unattack on someone that is unethical and this write just rolled in. Thank you Rossi.

[Shirlena]

I'm sorry I meant an attack on someone that is unethical attack.
