Survey Says

Forty-five percent

of men surveyed

said

they feel

trapped

in marriage/ so

what does that say

about the state of

love

has it been

gentrified or

marginalized or

just abandoned

Love

like our brown girls

seems to be missing

but no one is looking

for it/ the last time

I saw love

I could tell something

was wrong/Love

avoided looking in my eyes

but held me

extra tight

I should have known

something was wrong

but now that I know

now that we know

what are we

gonna do?

Forty-five percent

of women not surveyed

just might

have the answer.

Peace & Love,

Rosalind
