well, i'm sittin here listening to jagged edge's "funny how" and i had a couple of thoughts come to mind...
its funny how the one that loves us the most
we treat the worst
but the one that treats us
less than the dirt
beneath a shoe
an overturned rock or stone
is the one we love with all our might
until the day that they are gone
when are we going to learn to appreciate
that woman that takes her last
to put you first
or that man that works two or three jobs
with no time in between
for family or friends
going to be appreciated
when your only job is to take care of home
and push that new 550 benz
when are we going to make that woman
that gave birth to your first
second
or even fifth born
and honest woman in God's eyes
instead of dealing with a woman scorned
when are you
sisters
going to let that man be a man
when decisions are made about how
to raise his son to be a man
instead of
saying his daddy ain't ish
because he's no longer YOUR MAN
when will the love remain consistent
pushing hard and being
persistent
to make it work,
instead of
not working,
to get out into the arms of another
that in the end
won't love you
provide for you
hold you in good times and bad
happy or sad
because the grass was greener
someone else's situation was better
than yours
so you left the best you could ever have
for like a
is going to leave b
for c for the next
letter
and that new woman
or new man
is going to leave you
for what they think
can be
better than what they had at home all along
when the love you had before was always right
and the fact that YOU lost the urge to fight
made everything so wrong
funny how
