Conversation With God
When his phone rang
i peeked at the screen
he thought i was sleep
but my mind is
never at ease
so i can not enjoy
that kind of peace
so i do my ninja move
towards his side
crept real slow
made sure i didn't
touch him with my elbow
all while i flipped my hair to the right
damn them Africans for
doing my head tight
as i squint in pain
pop my knee
to jump over
i at last grab the phone
he's already made the mistake
of putting it on silent mode
so i can push on the keyboard freely
and i do
and my eyes aren't surprised to find
sweet words from a lover
hell its 3 a.m
he ain't receiving a text from his mother
i finally breathe
forgetting that in my process
of crying silently and
asking God why me
he answered me
my jaw dropped
and my spirit awakened
I'm trying to tell you
God had me shaken
"you, because you let it be you,
young, talented and beautiful
yet you fall for fools
boys dressed as men
and i gave you glasses
so you always reveal their asses"
i paused
did he just say that?
"ass is in the dictionary
my child, plus i speak
in a language you like
to relate,
my ears are always open
even late, when
your prancing around
with your little friends
i hear the filth
like your not my child
but you like to blend
so i don't mend
with ignorance
even though i
taught you better,
class, and pride
you like to play
and put my teachings aside"
i wiped my
face
i was talking to
God
i sniffled too
loud
and caught my eyes
on the man stirring in his sleep
but God yelled
"THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM
your so focused on everyone
except for me
i am first
don't you know i am a jealous God?
none before me?
Now pick up yourself
and go to church
praise me in advance
for I am giving you
another chance"
i nodded to God
he is always right
so i threw the covers
with all my might
held my stance
and woke up the man
with the hand
not holding a phone
"I talked to God,
and I'm leaving you alone,
now it's time you take me home,
if not
i will call 911
i will call out to God
he will rescue me
and you will be prosecuted
i know what you been doing
i know who you are
Satan, iam no longer
your whore,
so get up
if you don't comply
i swear i am not a lie
i will call about them drugs
now Devil, set me free
you don't have any more
power over me
