Soul Food

January 18, 2016

Most people strive to be someone's eye candy

A beat face and a bubbly personality

And yes that's nice and dandy

But how can you connect with spirituality

Being something that just last for a day?

I prefer to be soul Food

Where I can connect with someone in many ways

And have them crave me when they are in the mood

For an intellectual snack

Or fill them with the care that they prefer

And yes some people may think that it's whack

But their opinion is of their own reserve

But I just want you to think of your dinner tonight

Will it be bubble gum and lollipops?

Or will it be hearty, well cooked, and just right?

And then you'll stop

And say…

Most people strive to be someone's eye candy

A beat face and a bubbly personality

And yes that's nice and dandy

But where's the soul food?

Something wrong with this poem?
