About This Poem

VEHICULAR MAN-SLAUGHTER

Equal rights supplied the vehicle of our journey.
See, I bare children, and then I bare raising them!
The  seeds I sow within them, are in hopes of
producing Manna!

I'm the rock, the house is built upon.
I nurture, console, and guide through with the help 
of prayer; knowing faith is the key that unlocks the
door!

My windshield is made of submission. Clearly no one 
see's my dreams, because I became theirs. Overlooked
never; but seldom sought within. So I store dreams in
my trunk!

Mankind's proprietor, is rising like the sun. A new day.
I'm not just barefoot, and pregnant anymore. I've
become a go getter. Realities are dreams that were
had!

Where the wo-man is driving too, the cobblestone
insures a rough ride. Gender change within the 
presidency. I would promote peace. Wars kill the
sons, and daughter's we bare. For that I have a 
conscience!

On the road to leadership, the tires are weathered.
But I must move along. Strength of our core, provides
the fuel; to move ahead, never looking in my rear view!
Our future hero!

    thanks for your kind comments on my poem timing, your writings are also good and enjoyable to read. some of my poems are based on things in my own personal life, I do like a guy in my church for about 18 months now and in january he didnt talk to me for a while but now he is in my small group he sists next to me at church he gives me hugs and its just amzing how God rekindle that friendship even if it stays just like that it is great, but I am confident God is working in that situation, it just takes Time LOL take care God bless you from diane
