Sista to Brotha by S.L.Jones

Say, Brotha, may I please have just a minute of your time? Ain't meanin' to disturb you, but there's something on my mind. You see, lately I've noticed when it's time to choose your mate she looks less and less like me... am I something that you hate? I mean, does my cocoa complexion not quite fill your heart with bliss? Are these full lips not as tender as the thinner ones you kiss? Do these brown eyes not sparkle or shine quite as brightly as the blue? Or, perhaps this kinky hair's not good enough to run your fingers through? Are these broad hips not inviting, nor this derriere divine? Sweet chocolate treasures do await you - yet you settle for alpine. Why shun this silken haven? Do you not value its worth?


Lest you forget, twas one just like it that once gave yo ass birth! Excuse me? Hell, I know I sound bitter! Don't you think I've cause to be, when all that you desire is the opposite of me? I mean, what seems to be the problem? I was once what you pursued. Now you say I'm ghetto, loud, got too much a-ti-tude! Talkin' 'bout I'm aggressive. Unh, unh, I ain't havin' it. What you mean is I'm too headstrong to put up with all yo shit! Look, go ahead, parade her around...puff out your chest with pride; but, don't you DARE condemn me if I choose to cross to the other side. 'Cuz while I want a strong, BLACK man to caress and hold me tight... I WILL settle for another...long as he treats me right. Oh, yes, I'll find someone who appreciates my hue, and maybe HE can revel in the treasures that I once had stored for you! HMMMMM!!!! She nailed it didn't she ladies???

Keep the Faith!

Until next time, ~E
