Wearable art
By Benita Blocker, 2022
Sensitive scalp, sensitive skin
Misunderstood the artist within
Nickel allergy; no pierced ears
My jewelry has to be real so it won't kill.
I come in four different shades just like the seasons.
I throw shade if you give me a reason.
Never conceived, never tried.
Daughter of a Cancer, born with pride
And I'm a Virgo until I die.

There's been plenty who wanted to lay me down.
Sadly, for some, that meant six feet under ground.
But you see as a diamond- I've been used to a lot of dirt.
Even been in a rut
but never been a slut.
Please don't let my sensuality
confuse you.
My artistic expression
elude you.
I am just having fun
on a run.
My purpose is more than surface.
It's a journey
Out of concern
To learn
To discern
As I return
Bàck to my Birthrightful Position.

There's no Troublemakers in my inventory.
So the slave Master says with pride.
I treat my slaves well so they don't get out of line.
Their clothes on their backs are clean so they are just fine.
They have church every Sunday.
A large supper makes it a fun day.
No outside influences are permitted.
No secular music; only gospel music is the limit.
No movie theaters; no sports arena.
Just the prison of the plantation and their quiet demeanor.
Aren't you blessed to have Masters like us?
A mom and a dad that you can trust.
Remain a good little girl and just hush.
Sibling Rivalry
by Benita Blocker
Sibling rivalry - say It isn't So
Look at the book of Genesis - Cain and Abel
Just in case you didn't know.
Or also in Genesis - Esau and Jacob,
Esau's birthright stolen with the Mastermind being their own mother- that hoe.
I remember my own sibling always borrowing my things, stealing from my piggy bank, even born on my birthday.
I've been dealing with that devil for all of her existence.
Never realized the joy that I have now that she's out of my Life by her own insistence.
So count your blessing sometimes there are people you have to let go.
It's easier when they divorce you first-
It's a blessing when you have no thirst.
Happiness is on the other end when your conscience is clear.
You look in the mirror and just say I love you dear.
