Black Poetry : ..On The Harmful Effects of "NEEDS" Deprivation (EFF the Psych Textbooks, y'all)

[alyce]

it's just a basic need we all have
was it Maslow, or Pavlov, or Jung,
or, was it that freak-nassstee Freud,
who said that?

baby, I don't ask for much,
never have, but it's when I'm feelin
I'm lacking in my diet, my teeth
be set on edge...

it's a knawing sensation in the pit of
my stomach, like I been hongree for
two, three days
...

it's this dizziness, vertigo, somethin
crazy, place be spinnin cuz I can't
have none...


keep thinkin about

"ain't had NONE!"

and I salivate:

(that WAS Pavlov and I ain't
nothin BUT a DAWG!)

my basic tendency is to
fill this void with
ravenous words
cuz my carnal mind
done gone slack
with so much lust

and

I have to ask myself
'am I making any sense?'

'did I say that?'

cuz what I really wanna say

is

I ain't seen you, to touch you
to feel you, to smell you,
to taste you, to know you

to SHOW you

that when I get hongree
all I REALLY want to do

is

eat ...

Tyte Scribe....

Interesting displacement. I like the style...the content hold a lot of meaning.. Which could be looked at in many different ways. In what way were you putting it down?

Thank you

for the question, Shaneak ~ the purpose of this joint was to simply put all that psycho-babble I learned in school, aside....
because whether I'm conditioned to respond...or succumbing to the pain/pleasure principle...or dealing in the archetypical natures of my subconscious, or actualizing my SELF ...

When he's my need....

it's just time to feed


but be ever/always free to 'feel' the scribe howsuneva you
need....

Thanks for the read

& D-Mo....thank you, as always, for checkin it out.

peace

a
