A sister connection
Perfect in all our imperfections
Sweet Honey in the Rock
iron clad mocha confections
Just because our beauty
doesn't mirror the image of Barbie
doesn't erase
every trace
of our femininity
We can be soft and gentle
we can be hard and ferocious
our minds can be open to alternative realms
though our mentals can be quite precocious
We don't fit into preconceived boxes
of society's stale stereotype
of the head boppin,
gum poppin
sassy
brassy
hip hop genotype
Although we can be tough when need be
Surviving prejudicial bondage is not for the meek
Overcoming physical and mental slavery
is not a feat accomplished by the weak

Such a smogasbord are we, a mixture of
so many seemingly unrelated combinations
Nerdy yet worldly, eclectic yet simple
cautious yet ambitious, despite universal insinuations

There is one thing said about sisters
that I don't want to believe is case
Do some of us actually believe some of the myths
that bash the feminine side of our race?

Is that why some of us hate each other to the
point of plotting and scheming to destroy?
There's such an indescribable impact from
a sister against sister pulverizing ploy...

When we acknowledge the roots that entwine us
allowing our ebony branches to blossom into unity
it becomes like breathing... Effortless, so easy and natural,
so necessary for the ultimate preservation of you and me,
Talk to me sister, don't you agree?

Yeah sister, I feel your dramatic inflections,
your deep introspection of sisterhood confections,
rife with subliminals in need of our protection

But maybe it's deeper with time much steeper
so now let's celebrate before we meet our grim reeper.

Sisterhood, how can we truely define it,
when the undefinable is our reality,
when every thought expressed
fountains from our mentality.

Our connection is invisible,
energy circumnavigating the human mind,
existence beyond the concept of timeless time.

Is it because we know with a secret kiss
beyond our reality nothing would exist?...
but tell me, is sisterhood sealed in concrete,
a bond unbreakable that none can repleat?

This is something I've yet to really express,
though everyone knows that sisters truly are blessed...

So I fight to express sisterhood the best that I can,
facing the trials..cause we both understand.

We dance, romance, we even enchant...
emotionally indepth, we cry and we rant.
We created God from a pea in a pod,
start endless wars and keep the world in a nod.

D@mn we're good, yeah sisters, we're grand,
we should change the word from world, to Sister Land!

But that's not our way, altho many would say,
our sisterhood connection will never go away.

So yes, I'm glad we talked,
and maybe time will designate,
a time when we'll go further
when all will communicate.
