[p8anut]

On everything, I aint NEVER heard a poet like YOU & heard someone deliver the shit like YOU! On all your poems you got me saying "UH!" You got hella of my love! Make sure you stop by my poetry too, K! Damn, this poem is some shit!

[poeticnece]

You know...I've always said from poem #1...If I can get everyone's undivided attention for 5 minutes, I may as well speak some truth!

It's what sets me apart from a lot of other poets (all hands down). I've always shared my testimonies. It's my calling to share it with others to teach others.

I get that from my mother. Being real! Being outspoken! NEVER BITING MY TONGUE!

And quiet as kept...I've been watching you. I'm see your growth! Keep pushing sis!

If he arches his eyes and shaves his legs?? DL guys won't be arching eyes and shaving legs. They look and sound like

"straight macho men" But good poem.

[poeticnece]

You sound as if you're speaking from experience. Do DL brothas shave their legs? Do they arch their eyebrows? I don't really know. I just know what I know about my encounter with a down low brotha.

Now, if you know something different other than what I'm speaking on...please youtube it out and educate women on how NOT to be tricked by down low brothas.

Other than that...

so nigga likes to SUCK A BLACK DICK? so what the fuck up? NO HATERATION...keep it fuckin movin yo

[poeticnece]

Exactly why I made the video. To educate women who may not be aware of men such as MAYBE yourself. NO ONE should condone such mannerism.

Get tested bruh!

[blkhunk23]

ur damn right 2 educate thoz women cuz thy're actualy the DUMB ONES, fuck YEA I AM bisexual, i'm not advertisin it n WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I??? do straight niggaz advertise themselves as such? NOPE

but guess what, whenever i'm fuckin with women, they'd be the 1st askin me to do it RAW.

i love MY LIFE so i will ALWAYS protect it.

I'm sick n tired with da DL shit, damn if a dude is on da DL, bisexual or whatever, then that is HIS choice, he has already choose to NOT to choose, which is a choice..

[blkhunk23]

...HIS choice.

y'all women should be smater n ALWAYS ask dudes to WRAP IT UP.

nowadays u can NOT tell who's straight n who's not n y'all betta STOP pullin da DL stuff like it's the worst thing on the face of the earth...IGNORANCE is tho

Merry Xmas n much LUV

[poeticnece]

Each story is different...my life is good as my health. He, on the other hand...well...I'll just leave it at that. Hey...I'm not knocking your life but I do know the consequences for people such as yourself. I could've been the one that ended up with the short end of the stick for not knowing but I didn't. He on the other hand...his story isn't all that great. Who wants to live by a pill everyday? You might want to change your train of thought. Some women may accept it. Just not me...

[poeticnece]

You know...I'm just telling MY story. My experience with a man that POSED as a STRAIGHT man. He and I dated for almost 2 years before my daughter was born. He hid his secret life. No...I dont think it should be advertised but I do feel that if you are in an exclusive relationship with a woman expecting YOUR child...you should inform her about your undercover sexual preference. You do agree? We women deserve the right to know. Now, if these woman are asking for it raw...thats another story

[IG2HI]

Deep, indeed. Keep making it do what it do and educate those who don't know and refuse to know.

[poeticnece]

Thanks for the love.

It was my pleasure. Thank you for what you do. Happy New Year, and make it a blessed one.

Thanks a million! Spread the word.

Sista, I wish you access to compassionate & engaged medical professionals who will advocate for your & your sweet childs right to medication & good health.

[makezmuzic]

Excellent!!!! Keep speaking the truth. This is not offensive. What is offensive is the homophobia in the Black community that has forced Black men to go underground with their real self while using woman to front them.

Black Christians! Stop targeting our gay Black boys & girls. They are OUR CHILDREN TOO! Sisters, stop being shields for closeted gay Black men. Protect yourselves - NO GLOVE, NO LOVE!!!!

[poeticnece]

I was the fortunate one in this situation. My daughter is now 21 with her own child; age 6 months.

Unfortunately, he is living with his choices by dealing with the consequences.

We are friends now and that is about it. I extend my helping hand out to him for comforting words. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I do not hate him because I know there is an entire society out there that has already shunned him for being and doing himself.

Nonetheless, I've must push on and educate.

[makezmuzic]

What a beautiful Spirit you have my Sister. Such Grace. I wish you all the very best. Peace Sister.

Thank you for taking a stand, for turning poison into medicine. MM

[TheGoddessNetworks]

AWESOME NO WORDS! Yet some Brothers think this does not happen..

[poeticnece]

Yo...thanks so much for coming thru and being honest! Brothers know that this happens. They know whats going on! They can play dumb all they want.  I'm not a bitter black woman. I'm just a wiser woman.

[poeticnece]

Thanks for logging on and listening. Make sure you forward this to the non-believers that think it can't happen to them. Women think that their man won't leave them for another man but...I am a living, breathing testament...you feel me!

I was thankful enough to not come out on the same end of the stick that he did. However, this poem is a few years old and I just thought I would pull it out and get it out there to expose men and at the same time educate the community.

[Musicpri1988]

Straight Fire!!! that was incredible...

[poeticnece]

I appreciate it and I encorage you to spread it out there into our community. Sometimes the pamplets, infomercials and other tactics dont work but...coming from me...someone that went thru it; sharing my experience with you all is very different.

Thanks for listening and thanks for the comment!

Dam thatz the TRUTH!! SAFER SEX 1Life2Live..

[poeticnece]

Yeah...sad but it's true. These men do it all the time. Women are more open with their sexuality but men tend to hide their feelings.

[Ikecia1]

That was brilliant I will forward on to all my subbers and will subscribe as well. Thank you

[poeticnece]

Brilliant but true! It is my life...well a part of my life. Please do spread! This is what is going on in todays society. It happened to me and it can happen to anyone or someone you know.

This is the reality of the world we live in. These men are out here giving us babies and know that they are attracted to men.

This is one story of my life. I have more coming.
