I can't help feeling that most opinions on this piece are merely just that. has anyone just stopped to hear the words in the way they are written. how does 1 define poetry/ how does 1 define the spoken word? are you unable to see the questioning inside the poetry, would it not be fair to say that f. poet is expressing and questioning all in one? why is this not poetry. who are you to decide that? are you unable to see beyond the words and understand that she is talking about romance not MATERIAL gifts but the thought that lead to the gift, the love that lead to the thought. Why must you rubbish peoples creativity, and stiffle it with small minded opinions. DOES IT MAKE YA'LL FEEL BETTER BOUT YOURSELVES?

I've just sat back all this whileand havetaken inall your personal / bias opinionsand truth is I respect where eachindividual is coming from, Although many of you do not seem to understand where I am coming from withing all my questioning and attempt to gain understanding of theFEW cultural influenced black mens views and lack romance.

I am glad that my piece has cause so much questioning, as I intended but I still have not found a reasonable reply in my quest, never less prehaps this has made all of you question yourselfs and others.

Just bescause you do not understand something or you feel thatthe moral values are wrong does notnecessarily mean you areright to feel the way you feel in many cases there is no right or wrongIT IS WHAT IT IS!

wow, y'all really went deep in analysing/critiquing this piece. i, for one, am glad that f. poet is not faint of heart and didn't run "crying" from all the comments. out of all the comments, i think the one i agree with the most, and the one i find most revelant, in terms of criticism, was backatya...

that said, i found it very hard to read and the fact that i found it hard to read made it hard to me to follow the point intended. i think it needs some editing so that what f. poet is trying to say can be clearer and more focussed.

Interesting poem although I'm not quite sure what the author is trying to say. Its cool though and sounds more like an essay then a poem.


To believe is to have doubt and no facts but to know is to have facts and no doubt.
