Musings from a tired hummingbird.

debunking what YOU think is a free spirited woman...(musings from a tired hummingbird)

1. she is a bum with no goals and wants to ride a unicorn: FALSE (except the unicorn part) she, most likely, is absolutely brilliant, highly evolved and intuitive, comes from a variety of backgrounds, knows exactly what she wants and how she desires to live, is adventurous in her vocation and heart, is calculated in her free spiritedness, is creative in making and budgeting money.
2. she gives love unconditionally, with no boundaries: FALSE. again, she is intuitive. if you are a scratch and dent dude posing like top shelf, she is not fooled. she will find a box for you; see your good qualities and see if there is some sort of benefit or exchange. this could be small or big. she is actually extremely loyal. she will meet you where you are. if you are a king, she will be a true queen elevating all around. if you are only a king in your pants, she will decide if the dance is worth it or if she needs some real good exercise (don't sleep, it ain't really love. we hunt, too). if you are extremely intelligent, handy, know about investments, have a great music or book collection: that is a valid and completely worthy place to distribute love and attention. free spirited women eat knowledge decadent style.
3. if you are a hotep, church boy, control freak, immature or not too right in the head (the kind who separate good and bad girls based on superficial things) you will miss a real jewel of a woman. you cannot play house with her heart or her inbox. how do you feel when you are with her? she is authentically herself. she is her shadow side, too. as nice as she seems, she'll bust a hole into whatever you think you know of her. most free spirited women hold back tongues like machetes. try her. you'll find out. keep your distance or make sure you are truthful. again, she will meet you where you are. everyone has a right to be. a free spirited woman will know your passive agressive attempts are your insecurities and belong only to you. she won't let you clean off on her. she will ride off on that unicorn, to that next man, a good book, a tropical island, a dance floor. yes. free women perform their own exorcisms. a queen can actually stand alone. she may not want to, but she can.
4. free spirited women love hard and quick. not just romantic love. empaths to a core but will regenerate and renew like spring, once burned. ladies, find yourself intimidated by the raw sensuality of a free woman? don't hate. ask questions! we are our sister's keepers, period. we will help you sort a few things on intimacy and self preservation. we can balance our free spiritedness out with a little tradition. fellas, even if you feel you are not enough, treat her like gold. most of us carry wisdom beyond our understanding (that is a woman's true magic). make friends. you do not want us as enemies. trust. we are witches.
5. there is nothing wrong with a woman who knows herself or strives to know herself deeply and completely. she is love personified. she is the divine in her most majestic and powerful form. to quiet, douse, control, berate, misunderstand this energy is to stifle the natural flow of the universe. treat her well and watch everything restore and blossom.

It was just a wave.

honestly? i have been in the dumps! hard to find joy lately mostly exhausted trying to keep up with myself. i let myself go thru the entire pity party! i did not die! i still showed up for my children (kinda lol the way we show up on the weekend), complained about everything i had to do that wasn't for me ( my children just looked at me like a mental patient and entertained themselves), i wrote that shit ALL THE WAY OUT. every ugly feeling. i cried in my beer on the back balcony (broke but my bills paid yo!) wrote poems that make no damn sense. wore a weird lipstick. i just did not care and let myself be alright with it! 
TODAY: i got up, put henna in my hair, cooked up some veggies and lentils, drinking good tea and about to do my nails. my children acted like nothing happened. Then, to make it more beautiful, there is a new moon in scorpio for this lunar scorpio! IT WAS ONLY A WAVE. I SAY, WHEN IT COMES: RIDE THAT SHIT FULL FORCE. So what my party started in pity! i changed the song and now you can't get me off the dance floor!

Musing

i am not the kind of person who tries to get "on." there are some of us who are "art for art's sake" people. we do not fit in. 
the world praises takers. everyone is not comfortable playing the game. my smile, interaction, support or collaboration is not an attempt to be part of some clique. never has been. 
i am a sensualist. i enjoy people but i do not care for how things are done. i frequently resent being forced to be what i am not. so i ain't doing that shit, hear? i will do what makes me happy and walk away from what makes my ass itch. there i said it. i'll be in the corner making art no matter who hears it or sees it. always have. i ain't a novice.
if you fuck with me fine. if you don't, cool. if it's good, i'll still might support. 
i am not as attached as i seem. not as nice either. full of love is not a disease or game. i am sorry some live like that. some folk.

Haiku in Half Love

once i loved a man

wanted to split me in two

only liked one side





Reflections on Public Confessions

My heart is heavy. I used to ride the bus with my daughter to school in the morning and come back to start the day. There was a mother openly discussing the molestation of her daughter by her sister's boyfriend. The little girl was seated beside her. She looked about six. The mother was upset at her sister because she went after their mother. She added, to the person she was conversing with, that her mother did not need the stress. Apparently, she had been molested at three by her own father. She said that it's the past, she was over it. Her mother had him locked up; her father apologized because he was sick at the time (abusing alcohol and drugs). The woman's mother apparently took her father back into the house. 

Now, the woman's sister is in the same cycle: she was in the other room while this precious six year old was being touched. The woman made this entire tragedy about her sister not being able to get over abuse that happened 30 years ago. 

The woman's public confession was loud. She was oblivious to the horrified silence of the bus passengers. She was completely unaware that she was humiliating her daughter. I locked eyes with the sad/stone-faced little girl with as much comfort as I could. I held my own daughter's hand tightly.

When are we going to get to the heart of the sicknesses that plague all our communities at large? Can you imagine the countless households who think that this is the norm?

EAT KARMA (12/12/2020)/punk

EAT KARMA 

locked in our homes
while they change the laws
raid the wrong place
shooting rounds thru the walls
confusion and lies
the emperor wears no draws
best to keep us separate
so no one knows the score

went to school to learn
how to best the best
each day brings
a new series of tests
big dirty secrets
no one will confess
leaving the masses in
grand distress

no
you can't move to mars
your money won't protect you
you can't move to mars
you can't pretend to forget
dude
what happens to your neighbor
still affects you
what happens to your neighbor
still affects you

EAT THE RICH
BRING THEM DOWN
BUILD FROM SCRATCH
THE OLD WAY MUST DROWN
EAT THE RICH 
GOBBLE THEM UP
WHAT THE FUCK
THEY'RE KILLING US

you betta go inside
deep inside yourself
you betta find another 
way
to earn your wealth
wanna push a vaccine
but don't wanna push health
you betta bet on yourself
you betta (gotta) bet on self

EAT THE RICH
BRING THEM DOWN
BUILD FROM SCRATCH
THE OLD WAY MUST DROWN
EAT THE RICH
GOBBLE THEM UP
WHAT THE FUCK
THEY'RE KILLING US

dictators & pedophiles
for police states
homeless 
jobless & 
alone
in manic states
war
famine & killing
big dollars at stake
Flint don't have clean water
while you're home
eating steak

CAN YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?
DO MY ANCESTORS HAUNT YOU?
HAS THE PROMISE OF KARMA
STARTED TO TAUNT YOU?

what if the people
wake to their power?
would it make all your
evil plans sour?
would you go and hide
in your glass tower?
WHAT IF THE PEOPLE
TAKE BACK THEIR POWER?

CAN YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?
ARE THE ANCESTORS HAUNTING YOU?
HAS THE THREAT
OF LOOMING KARMA
BEEN TAUNTING YOU?

you won't win against the light!
some of us are scared-
but the rest of us will fight!
uprisings everywhere-
we will restore what's right!

don't sleep
don't sleep
we are up now
we will fight now
don't sleep
don't sleep
we are up now
we will fight now

KARMA IS COMING
TO WASH AWAY THE FILTH
TO RESTORE THE ORDER
TO STRENGTHEN OUR WILL
EAT THE RICH 
AND
BRING THE SYSTEM DOWN
THE OLD WAYS ARE DEAD
MUST DROWN
MUST DROWN

THE PEOPLE ARE IN POWER

NOW.
