Poem Title:
Poem
I have known girls from the hood Like the back of my palms. Short and tall girls with bowl legs, Skimpy and calm girls with pink lips. Those that have fears and those that have no fear in their eyes for men. I have seens girl from the hood Like I see my nakedness at morn. Hot girls and cold girls I have known Those that kill men, those we tickled and they laughed away their life in joy. These girls made us who we are. I have dated girls from the hood Those that has steps to every beat Atilogwo, bata, Gelede, and bolojo I have known girls and their nagging lips Sending the beat of madness into the Memories of teenagers in the abyss of grave. I have kissed girls from the hood Black and pink lips girls from the hood When you see the images of those honeyed Damsel, they make men shy away From their beautiful sinful faces. Girls are sweet sin in the eyes of men. I have known girls of lust and shame Those that wake up with stretch mark On the corner of their lips and those with no fault Those that are wife material and those that are not Those that beat men and those that love men I have known girls from the hood. Yours Poetically, © John Chizoba Vincent.
