Luxurious in lifestyle
Heady prideful

Whatever
Wuz up
She was proud and beautiful in spirit
She is proudful and beautiful in spirit
So high minded
Set apart
Bogus

Red bottom
Luxurious in lifestyle
Heady prideful

that woman be there is that
BOUJEE
She wore(wears) eye shadow and red lipstick on her spirit
God said why
Be natural
You don't need this
Don't take God body for granted
Be true, not proud don't be lewd
that woman be there is that

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2021©
The best of them, give their best of all.
They answer a call to wield their written
vision, like swords before the march
and flirt with paths of tortured lines
Against insurmountable odds
they try to breach the code of
those with the captured grail
of independence and knowledge
Hand in hand and cheek by jowl,
battling with life's lexicon, they
rage to add to the very fabric of its
velvet richness
But, self doubt looms too large to
bear the false apparel of words,
when egos deflate like weather
balloons soaring too high
Partisan becomes the story teller,
too unsure to seek his praises from
abroad, reserving trust only in the
judgement of his own voice
But, to set in print such garish
cloth, ill-conceived with few true
stitches to bind it together; is
proof that nothing is brought more
proudful than knowledge is before its fall
