albany, ga - "da country"
Occupation
technical director
she had to leave cause
rosefire told her secret
sent a thousand gasps
every man she knew
was after her ***
so fine as she stood
chocolate brown like warm syrup
with eyes that made men confess things
beyond their own souls
rosefire was something to behold
she walked with such a sway
that 19 ordinances were passed
to keep her fine *** off the street
between noon and midday
her touch brought claps of heaven
made many brothas coo
she had skills that would cause tears
while she worked them
through and through
rosefire lived for today
in many ways that made her beauty
all the more timeless
at best the desire was just to be near her
catch a wift if her perfume
for those who went further
rosefires passions would consume
but one day the earth seemed strange
clouds refused to leave
paperboy carried the news
rosefire had to leave
the story created a firestorm
whatever could it mean
everyone gathered at town hall
examining the scene
legions filed out in tears
bent over full of grief
rosefire had to leave
cause she told her secret
infected 1000 brothas and counting with h.i.v.

***wrap it up***
 
...yes, rosefire burned up a whole town and no one saw the flames until they were reduced to cinders...

Aminata (beautiful name) - yeah i think brothas and sistas need to be more aware...

Now you know you told the story!

To quote the magnificent "TLC" RIP Lisa, "Don't go chasing
waterfalls stick to the valleys and the streams you are you used to...sometimes you moving to fast!
A powerful message, with a poignant undertone, tastefully done.
AS ALWAYS MY BROTHERMAN...
BLESSINGS ON YA HOUSE ALWAYS!
