Social Scene is about what concerns society as a whole. Considering what has taken place in what continues to plague our society, sometimes there is a place for ANGER! When it is acceptable. I'm not speaking of the "sin", (wrong actions attached to the anger), but of the natural emotion of it!
Reader, there are times throughout my blog where I share my poetry. I always wait until I think it appropriate to share certain pieces due to their relevancy. When I do share my poetry with you, I always put it under the heading of "Inspiration Station." Considering the subject of abuse and my freedom , as I've written much about those lately. I find this poem quite appropriate, VERY APPROPRIATE for me to share with you at this time.
It is a tough read, just as I have been known to be "a tough read", at times myself!
So, take heart Dear Reader! Take heart.
"INSPIRATION STATION"
Is It The Way? (rewritten)
Poem by Meetta Martin
From my book,"You Can't Say That!;
"Poetry to Strengthen, Heal and Encourage (2002)"
Society has not proven kind
to tortured females in your life time, nor in mine!
After all, many rapes and molestations have
continued to occur for centuries past.
When bad things happened to the girls, to the women
we never hear all of the crying out against it!
When we do, it doesn't last for long and eventually
the cries for justice die.
Dying, until another crime of abuse comes out!
There are stories that affect every culture
that depicted females to be lowly and deserving of ill treatment.
In all periods of time, women and girls were often taught that they did something wrong, somehow and in some way, to deserve the crimes
done against them!
Because of the brainwashing and destruction of a creation
SO PRECIOUS TO GOD,
that they even told themselves, out loud or in their minds
that they must have deserved the heinous crimes!
But fortunately,
amongst those that did not understand their worth,
other females were born.
Others who came to understand their place
within the thoughts and arms
of the Great "I Am", Creator of Heaven and the earth!
So with great strength, though I be female,
I recognize myself as one of the latter.
And with great strength on behalf of the others,
TO CHILD MOLESTERS AND OTHER DESTROYERS OF WOMEN,
I pose this question.
Tell me...
IS IT THE WAY,
our little skirts twirl as we play in the yard?
IS IT THE WAY...
our Grannies and mothers plat braid and oil our thick dark hair,
shining brightly in the sun?
IS IT THE WAY,
our naivete shows through our bright, young smiles
that cause the "manhood even in young boys, to rise?
IS IT THE WAY,
your sister, niece, daughter, a stranger girls, young developing body
changes right before your eyes,
that causes you to become so "hot and bothered."
Recognize, that it is your own self-indulgent wickedness, not her innocence!
IS IT THE WAY,
she gives you the natural adoration and respect
that young girls often give to their brother, uncle, father, or neighbor,
that turns you on?
Recognize, that it is your own self-indulgent wickedness, not her innocence!
IS IT THE WAY,
the "natural way",
the other males give us attention
as we develop into rare beauties
that cause your minds to TWIST AND SNAP
FROM JEALOUSY AND ENVY?
Your minds, twisting and snapping
as YOU ABUSE,
VIOLATE, MIS-USE AND CONFUSE,
not just one, but 2, 3 of God's most precious creations...
the female!
FEMALES!...
The ones he gave the power to birth kings and nations!
The ones he gave the power to teach and nurture!
The ones he gave power to birth YOU!
With your minds twisting and snapping,
is how you chose to repay the female!
How you chose to repay her for the life,
YOU'VE been given!
This is Meetta,
I'm out!
Goooood night!
