It's been said that I am fairly controversial
Cause my writing style is not to commercial
I write about what I know about and verbalize
what I observe.
And I won't take nothing for my journey.
Every bird needs to fly.
And it's what I deserve.

Many folk shy away from the rocking the boat
status.
I have been known to use whatever necessary
aparatus.
Not one to mince words I don't even mince meat.
I feed those with teeth.
Who can digest what they eat.
And I won't take nothing for my journey.
Every cook adds their own special something.
If you don't your dish is remembered as
just something or nothing.

Been wealthy, been poor, been on the roof
and down on the floor.
Had loves gifts and all of its ruin.
Gave lots for asking and some just for doing.
People feel some different things when I do
share what I know...it's all about a positive
flow , even if the subject is not postive even
if you just don't know.
And I won't take nothing for my journey.
All teacher's teach from books but they
gain respect with eyeball (looks)!:eek:


So as the faintest at this gathering merely
cover their mouth's in horror.
I will be there by the roadside screaming
and shouting until tommorrow.
That every story be told and everybody
get love and understanding, respect
without demanding and all the peace
that life can afford.
And an occassional if not daily "Thank you
Lord!"
Maya Angelou, I may never be
But she is apart of my history
She made me who I am going to be
And I won't take nothing for my journey.

HA! Tell it! This whole piece is on FIRE!

I feed those with teeth.
Who can digest what they eat.
And I won't take nothing for my journey.
Every cook adds their own special something.
If you don't your dish is remembered as
just something or nothing.

AMEN and AMEN! I just LOVED that part!

They may not like whatcha say, sistah, but you WILL BE HEARD!

*I'm the same way! LOL!*
