Brothas and Sistas

by Ebonyavon



Brothas feel free…
Whenever you see a sista 
you pass walkin by
even if she doesn't catch your eye
greet her with a smile
defy the ever present assumption 
look to appreciate her
and not just her flesh
for she is a queen 
treat her as such
and nothing less

Sistas feel free…
To return a brotha's kind-hearted smile
even if you don't want to be approached
don't look to make assumptions
can't he be cordial
accept his appreciation
and in turn give him yours
for you are in the presence of a King
who deserves that and much more

Brothas feel free…
To open the door
for a sista you don't recognize
be polite
it's what any gentleman would do
show her there is more to you 
King always be at your best
for she is a queen
treat her as such
and nothing less

Sistas feel free...
To let a brotha open the door for you
let go of independence 
for a second or two
he's showing that he is well-mannered
take your place as a Queen 
thank his polite gesture 
it should not be ignored
for you are in the presence of a King
who deserves that and much more
