When He Prostrated
When He Prostrated
From a distance I saw you.
You shined like the sun and illuminated every soul you passed.
I was in awe of you...You; I had to have known you in some other place in time.
Maybe you and I shared a part of ourselves, which is now only a moment in eternity.
Whatever it was I was drawn to you like a magnet.
When you looked into my eyes, I could tell that you seen something familiar.
When I looked into your eyes, it was hypnotic.
Subconscious flashbacks… We laughed, we cried, we built, we destroyed
We laughed, we cried, we built, we destroyed
We, laughed, we cried, we built, we destroyed
I was your mother, you were mine.
I was your father, you were mine.
I was your sister, you were mine.
I was your brother you were mine.
I was your lover you were mine.
We had been through so many cycles in time.
Those eyes were the same eyes I saw, before time began.
The same eyes I saw, when we walked together on rich black sands.
The same eyes I saw, when we lived off the bitters and sweet of the land.
The same eyes I saw, when we were on opposing sides of tribal wars.
The same eyes I saw, when were captured on African shores.
The same eyes I saw, as we waddled in heavy chains.
The same eyes I saw, before you jumped into depths of the ocean out of shame.
The same eyes I saw, when we escaped using the passage of the underground trains.
The same eyes I saw, before they put the rope around your neck.
The same eyes, when, they branded you less then a man.
The same eyes, when you found that, I had been violated by the pale hand.
The same eyes I saw, when I told you…chile be brave.
The same eyes I saw, before I ended your life so that you wouldn’t be born a slave.
The same eyes that I see right here, right now.
And when you prostrated it became clear.
When you prostrated you opened the door of love, that I had for you, buried inside of me for eons.
When you prostrated you righted all the wrongs.
When you prostrated and arose to hold me in your arms…
I knew you were my eternal companion.
But in this lifetime, you came when I needed you most.
Wherever you are I wish you all the love, joy and happiness that you can stand.
Because you have shown me as an African woman, there is still love honor and respect that resides in the African man.
Dedicated to a very special Brother, I love you Brother and I thank you.

Strictly for the Sistahs
Peace,
This one is strictly for the Sistahs!!!! However Brothers you can switch the
premise if the message applies.
Lately, some of my Sistah's have been going through it with Brother's who
continuously deceive them for the selfish need to please their own egotistical
greed. Now, I'm not usually the one to write about and or deal with the
relationship blues game, especially when it comes down to the point of me having to
deny my Brothers anything but praise for some of you who are, "Beautiful King
Afrikan Black."
However to wear the above title, Brother's have to earn it. Presenting
deceptive illusions laced with insidious delusions designed with slick intentions to
amuse ones selfish ego, doesn't warrant a membership into the Beautiful King
Afrikan Black realm of Ancestral Blessings.
Now, I am not writing this to diss the Brothers, I am writing this to
encourage my Sistahs to begin to love themselves inside and out and remove all self
doubt about the strength, courage, wisdom and beauty bestowed upon you for you
to internalize, analyze and take the time to realize just how important you
really are to yourself and the wonderful world that YOU CAN CREATE around you.
When you are given signs and "YOU ARE GIVEN SIGNS" that show you, "THAT TRUTH
ALWAYS ELIMINATES CONFUSED REALITIES," take a minute, a hour, a day, a month,
a year and sometimes years to listen to the voice of Spirit. Relationships
are built on real love, truth, honesty, communication, thoughtfulness, caring,
sharing, compromise and the promise to love each other completely, uniquely and
in totality.
We must learn to love each other enough to become one love united and not
divided by deception, fabrication, and that almighty false sense of physical
elation that is often substituted for the real meaning of the words, "I Love You."
Contrary to popular belief, Love is a behavior and not just a word we need to
hear to make us feel good or a word we need to say to make someone else feel
good especially when we're confused and without understanding of the meaning
of the word Love. Love is a verb, an action word with many actions for us to
express, exhibit, display and communicate.
We must learn to theorize, analyze and clarify that we understand what love
means. We must intensify the true meaning of love before we verbalize our love
to him and or believe he who has verbalized his love for us to us. In other
words we need to know the meaning of venerate before we allow him to ventilate,
"I love you baby." Remember, a pimp tells his prostitute, "I love you baby,
now go out their and bring me my money."
My Sistah's, if it doesn't feel right, it's not. If he lies to you about one
thing, chances are he lies to you about everything. If he cheats on you and or
cheats on another Sistah to create and reek havoc on both of your lives,
chances are you are not the love of his life, he is.
If he cry's and personifies hurt and confusion every time you catch him in a
grandiose lie, bursting the deceitful bubble full of his deceptive delusions,
illogical illusions and fabricated conclusions, chances are, this is how your
life will live as long as you are with him. And if you believe that this is
love and that this self absorbed, usually self assured type of Brother who lies
and cheats on you to be with another. And, or cheats on the other to be with
you as his actions insult the integrity of our Ancestral Mothers, think again.
If he adores you, he doesn't lie to you, if he worships your relationship, he
protects your relationship, if he admires you, he would never disrespect you,
if he cherishes you, he would never cheat on you, if he idolizes your
relationship, he would value your relationship, if he respects you, he would never
deceive you and if he reveres your relationship, he's devoted to you and your
relationship.
And last but not least, if he truly loves you, he will automatically show you
and remember he who is married to or lives with someone other than you, can
and will never be faithful to you. He can and will never never never truly love
you fore he is not a Beautiful King Afrikan Black.
My Sistah, it's time to take a stand and demand "A REAL BLACK MAN" in your
life. Take the time to listen that inner voice, let Spirit guide you sweetly and
lovingly into the truth and if the truth hurts, leave the pain, don't look
back and learn to wait patiently for A TRUE KING AFRIKAN BLACK.
"All of life's treasures are found inside of life's most cherished treasure,
OURSELVES."
You Sistah In Spirit,
Robin Asantewaa
