Fantastic! Love the way you use repetition to make your point. Rhythm's great, and the message could not be more important.

Amen. I hope this gets out to students and young ladies everywhere. The issue is not limited to race - but to all humanity that would constitute such a yoke for anyone other than themselves.

A very good poem. It is sad that we are expected to take whatever a man dishes out ?

Wow! Right in the face, bold! Actually, probably the same people who never told little white girls that white men, poor ones especially, do what they want and, "You'll not wag yore tongue girl, lest it be torn out!"
Go girl :)!

Wow! Wow! one more: WOW!

I read this 3 times, making sure I really was in the company of a writer who SAYS IT! But you've done more than that, far more. You, madam, have struck a blow for ALL women, of ALL colors.

Your language is pointed, blunt, and drenched in the kind of truth the wilting violets aren't able to look at...

I've never said this before in a comment: I will never forget reading this. I'm saving it to make sure I don't! You are a champion! WOW! katy xox
