Dignity (Excerpt from Girl If You Don’t Wake Up)

Listen: I know color isn’t supposed to matter much but what has happened to you my sistah? There was a time when you thought more of yourself than what I see now and it gives more credence to why they say, “the man won’t buy the cow”. There was a time when you couldn’t find a black woman so revealing and yes indeed she still knew she was appealing. Her values were more readily seen rather than the curvature of her jeans. For some reason you thought you needed to be more like them… modesty use to be your policy.

Now you’re living a life of hypocrisy. Now you flash it all just like the other side and seemingly you have lost what once was your pride. Pride in how you carried yourself. Now showing everything you’ve got leaves you with nothing left.

Wanting the best but living as an adulteress. You say you just want to be free but my sistah tell me… why does it have to cost your dignity?

Review of Dignity (#2126007 writing.com) lgweissman

This poem is beautifully crafted, honest and also brave. It calls attention to cultural decay and the very real impact it has had on one woman alone. All it takes is one to make it a tragedy, and you’ve portrayed that expertly.

The values that once determined the fallen woman’s policy as a modest woman with pride, have been trampled on, demeaned and marginalized today. Peer pressure is even stronger, and the defense of parental guidance is not there today in our broken institutions of marriage and family.

But I hear the voice of hope for this fallen woman. First, she has a sister (relative or sister friend, the speaker) who cares about her, which comes through in your tone and chosen words, and that woman clearly knows right from wrong, which is a huge matter in a society where no bad behavior is considered wrong today. This strong woman can lead the young fallen woman back to safety and the recovery of what she lost. The speaker is regretting the sister’s choices by proxy. We don’t know know what the young woman will ultimately choose for herself, but nonetheless, it is not a rejection of her.

Beautifully done. A very timely piece for today.
