Its my Life

Weekend Glory

Some clichty folks
don't know the facts,
posin' and preenin'
and puttin' on acts,
stretchin' their backs.

They move into condos
up over the ranks,
pawn their souls
to the local banks.
Buying big cars
they can't afford,
ridin' around town
actin' bored.

If they want to learn how to live life right
they ought to study me on Saturday night.

My job at the plant
ain't the biggest bet,
but I pay my bills
and stay out of debt.
I get my hair done
for my own self's sake,
so I don't have to pick
and I don't have to rake.

Take the church money out
and head cross town
to my friend girl's house
where we plan our round.
We meet our men and go to a joint
where the music is blue
and to the point.

Folks write about me.
They just can't see
how I work all week
at the factory.
Then get spruced up
and laugh and dance
And turn away from worry
with sassy glance.

They accuse me of livin'
from day to day,
but who are they kiddin'?
So are they.

My life ain't heaven
but it sure ain't hell.
I'm not on top
but I call it swell
if I'm able to work
and get paid right
and have the luck to be Black
on a Saturday night.

I really love this award. We bloggers who blog to keep in touch with our friends, feel the need to ramble on the latest book, movie or the event in our lives, Just HAVE to write, need each other sometimes to authenticate our worth.

In fact, I know we are not the best, there are loads of writers out there that I wish to discover, read and relish. I am giving this award to these people more in spirit of friendship, I know. But I love them (and all the writers I follow) and need them for my daily sustenance. I read you all daily, and try to imbibe your good things and try to avoid your pitfalls.

A special thanks to A rose is a rose is a rose who is uber stylish, encyclopedic and has a lovely knack of keeping all her readers in her loop.

Our foot is in the door,

One day we shall inherit the earth.
