N-fo

by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed — Read all 584 poems by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed

Sunday, November 2, 2008


Poem Artwork

who got the 'N-fo?
c'mon y'all tell me just
WHO got the 'N-fo?

we're addict'd and we
GOT 2-have
the 'N-fo!

and how do WE know
that "Joe" didn't get
paid some red dough
to put out what somebody
said we oughta know
about the 'N-fo?

'cause what'll happen if
u don' know &
i don' know &
he don' know &
she don' know &
they don' know
where to find
the 'N-fo?

do you know
where you get
your 'N-fo?

can you get
the right 'N-fo
on her space
his space
our space
or anybody's place
for that matter,
can we trust
the right twitter
for the chatter...
does it matter?

do we believe
what we receive
in measurements
of six inches between
our ears, or do we aim
to please and get attention
with the six inches some
crave high up between their knees

oh please baby please...
if knowedge were like
sex, adam and eve sho nuff
got plenty vex'd asking fo' mo' 'N-fo
and the gates of Heaven said "oh no"
we don't think so...for now the only
'N-fo you need is the one that starts
with the letter N, the Narzarene's seed.

so, when the end comes, forget the president,
who you gonna believe?

Sitting here, trying to make sense of your words, when it hit me: THAT N-fo! We all need the N-fo. Just hope America votes with their heads and not with their hearts; but in order to believe, we need to use our hearts ... what a mess. Love how your mind works, Cynth'ya, call me?

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
