    Don't ask my neighbor http://youtu.be/DXdb

    Let me introduce you to 
    the song called "Don't ask my neighbor"
    by Nancy Wilson.

    See I would rather be called a hoe
    by this gutless , unaccountable
    society, than to be the type of
    woman that makes a
    living getting over on 
    a man.


    I'm addicted to the truth ,
    It's like my blood , my veins
    sweet juice.
    If you really want to know
    about me , ask me .


    Ask the horse's mouth, is a
    cliche` that resignates
    come to the source,
    don't take my verbal options
    leave me a fighting choice.


    In today's world, conflict
    is based on "he" said "she" said
    tactics. what happened to
    the facts, or are we just 
    gossip chasers.

    If ever asked what I gave in a relationship,
    friendship, business partnership , I would
    dilegently reply "I gave my best


    so with percipience I say 
    "don't ask my neighbor, come to me , 
    never ask the friends I hang around, 
    don't be afraid of what you see , 
    you'll find I love you". 

    Rather than to stir up 
    alot of confusion, 
    we need to come to 
    a respectful meeting of minds .
    You don't have to pick people's 
    brains , people are screaming 
    out to be heard . 


    If ever you find , it's too difficult 
    to deal with who I am based 
    on my past , my religion , race,
    gender , or political view, let me know. 
    I'll embrace the beauty of the 
    person you are, I'll mourn
    the times we shared, but always 
    remember that I cared


    I hold my chin in the air , 
    even when my worth 
    is cheated. For I realize
    that to love someone when I am 
    viewed as broken, used , is 
    not easy. To take your verbal
    slandering abuse is a pleasure at times 
    the more I mature emotionally, spiritually, 
    and mentally, I realize your dealing 
    with your own brokeness , damage, 
    and fear of failure. But to see 
    you grow into a strong male
    is truly worth it all.

    Enlightenment! Asking questions is the key to finding answers. Being able to go directly to a person and ask openly and frankly is a lost art. I love the wisdom in this one.........E

    great point !!!!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
