I call his name in full today
but I call it devoid
of the shame and guilt
that has trailed me
since that night
He said 'Body no be firewood;
you don't give someone
ice cream to collect it halfway'
A name that was once
warm honey to my lips,
began to sound
like a funeral song
the moment he kissed my tears
in apology for letting his desires
overtake his common sense
in apology for his grip being too tight
in apology for not knowing how to say the word 'sorry'
in apology for being a boy validating the statement:
'Men are Scum'
Today I wring my tongue into will
in order to fulfill each polysyllable
in order to remind myself
that I should teach my son
his ABC's as thus:
A for Apple
B for Ball
C for Consent can be taken away at any time
Today I call his name in full
as I dust my feet
and wipe my eyes,
I leave my intended last name
and sing my own name
as a redemption song.
Daily affirmation by think and grow rich by Napoleon villes
I'm hopefully going to be worth about $30,000 dollars and accumulate not less than $2,000 by June next year.
To be rich is not just about the mind, but action. In order to make my dream a reality, I'll immediately go into learning softwares that could be used to give solutions to the problem of the masses.
Equally, I'll get to learn programming, so that I can fit into the modern world.
It's every one's pleasure to be rich, it's not just a dream but our wish. Translating these wishes into action is what differentiate the rich from the poor.
I'm ready and willing to put all these plans into action, so that I can meet up with my dreams.
Moreover, I won't neglect to be committed to my blurt community by talking my close friends to be part of blurt and Zapata community too.
