If I use the word
By: KB © 11.3.14
You can call yourself a bitch
In the belief that
you have somehow and in some way embraced that word as a power
I cannot and will not refer to a woman in such a manner
If I say the word it is the degrade and demean
And I struggle with accepting any subtraction or devaluation
of the sisterhood
If I say the word I have then become what I decry and deride
If I use the word I have decided that you are unteachable
and unreachable
If I use the word I have nullified your place in the
universe
If I use the word I have changed the name and purpose that
God has given
Sister I will uphold and love you, sister I will continue to
teach until I breathe no more
Sister I help improve your vision until you see your
lineage, your heritage, your ancestry
Waving from the distant shore
