O knihe
A Call to the Black Man
Give ear to what
I'm about to say
What in the world happened?
It's not supposed to be this way.
We fought so hard for freedom
And you have put me back in chains
Commitment, trust, seems to be bad words.
I'm in bondage to your mind games
Remember, you have a mother, sister, or daughter
But it was me you gave the ring.
I have come to this conclusion
I don't need a king TO BE A QUEEN!
I've had to raise the children alone
Like when the master sold you astray
Now I have to look for you
And again you've become a runaway
A man that can walk out on his family
Is a part of slavery's aftermath?
But enough with the dumb stuff
The past is the past.
I am still that woman
Who made you feel like a man?
Now you are so out of place
Still, you want me to understand.
Another form of rejection
I'm asking myself "what's wrong with me"
Why am I always to blame?
For your misplaced priorities?
Either you get it together
Either you are right or you are wrong.
I can raise the children with you.
I should not have to do it alone.
Come inside these pages.
Allow me to tailor you to fit
Coming from the strength of this Whole Woman.
I should not be penalized for it
I'm going to speak to the Whole Man in you
Like I do in our time of intimacy.
That's when I give you the freedom to be you
And you give me the freedom to be me.
Men are checking me out "right now"
Making statements and, my, how they do flatter.
They ask "Why are you alone or single?"
Realize! I do have a choice in the matter.
I was asked if I were to define the book WHOLE in one sentence, what would I say?
"WHOLE is a groundbreaking, ground shaking, revolution that demands results!"
"I recall the day as though it was yesterday. I stood in the mirror looking at a reflection of defeat never knowing if I would reach my God-ordained destiny. All my dreams, hopes, and desires devastated. I was distrait, frail, and I had gone from a size 12 to a size 6. I was beyond distressed I was destroyed. Lifelines can come in many ways. I knew I wanted and needed to come out, but I didn't know how. This is the time when I had to get real with myself and everyone else-so I threw out a lifeline. I made a simple telephone call to a friend and the Revolution began!"
