    Would You Wait For The One?

    It’s not unusual to reassess the relationships we are in and realise we deserve something more, something … better.

    Poet Janette…ikz shares a beautiful piece on waiting. She starts of in a humorous way, talking about dating the wrong guy, then blows my mind.

    Interjecting references from the bible to hone in on what we should be really waiting for, Janette…ikz creates a masterpiece of poetry that I have rarely seen.

    Emotional and breathtaking!

    “Ready to sell my aorta for a quarter, not knowing the value of its use to me.
    Arteries so clogged with my will, it blocked His will from flowing through me.”

    Kanye and Bittersweet Poetry

    So, I’m not a big fan of Kanye West, in the sense that I don’t listen to much (or any) of his music except for ‘Gold digger’. In saying that, I must admit I was pleasantly surprised with his performance at this Poetry Slam.

    It started off with a typical Kanye West style with his haters and him making history etc etc … then he moved into his poem ‘Bittersweet’. He executes this poem with skill and a fair amount of emotion.

    This poem is about the pleasure and pain of being in a relationship, which I’m sure we can all relate to..

    “And I always thought that you havin my child was our destiny
    But I can’t even vibe wit you sexually
    Cause every time that I try you will question me
    Say “you ****in them girls, disrespecting me?
    You don’t see how your lies are affecting me? ”
