Natasha McGee Poems

I think of times when my parents use to say
They have to pick cotton in the field each and every day
They would tell me how it made them feel
To know how race in the south back some years
...

You do all you can, to make it on your own
And you need someone, will feeling all along
God will bring you through the storm and the rain
Just keep you head up high, and the sun will shine again
...

To know the fear of a master
To know the wihip in hand
To feel the lashes coming
Not able to stand
...

I HEARD THE NEWS
YOU WERE FEELING DOWN
I WANTED TO COME SEE YOU
AND STAY AWHILE
...

Our life experiences aren't the same.
We have our own personalites
And that's o.k.
But when that image has been changed.
...

I cried over you day and night
Wondering if my love wasn't right
I was broken-hearted over you
Even before you said were through
...

I PACE MYSELF, FOR THE TURN
THEIR'S STILL SO MUCH, I HAVEN'T LEARNED
AND YET I THINK TO MYSELF
OF WHAT COULD BE?
...

Thinking of times I would say what's cooking everyday
It's an assortment of goodie things
Chocolate, pies and banana pudding
Enough food and that's Mama's cooking
...

I think at times where would I be
If it hadn' been for humanity
I think at times the word before me
And to know that it has a long way to be free
...

The race is starting and there's no sound
Her heart is racing through the crowd
The bets are made and she's a gamble
Black Cloud has promise amongst the doubt
...

The issue at hand is breaking news
Only seconds to prepare, without the singing of the blues
In knowing the facts is not a complicated task
Lessons Learned and being polite when you ask
...

As the day begins the dreams reveal
The night before was a unconscious feel
Soothing your body from every end
Chocolate Soul is a Spiritual Friend
...

The tears I cry is a voice unheard
And still I try to speak a word
When days, weeks, and months go by
And still I ask God-Why?
...

TO KNOW HOW I FEEL IS BEYOND WORDS
TO KNOW WHAT MY HEART FEELS U NEVER HEARD
TO SAY TO YOU I CAN'T BEGIN
TO KNOW THAT MY LOVE IS BEYOND MEANS $$$.
...

One's life is like a chapter in a book.
U turn the pages of time to get a better look.
U see the trials that has and will face.
Some events you see and others just take place.
...

Kissing me on my back, makes my body weak.
I feel your prescence and it's hard to speak.
You know the spot that get's me wet.
The love in me I can't forget.
...

17.

When I say those words of 'I Do'
Their's trust, communication, and honesty too
When I say those words of 'I Do'
The love is unconditional, between the two
...

I remember the times we shared
Taking for granted I wouldn't dare
Expressing to you the love inside
Letting me know I couldn't hide
...

19.

I find myself thinkin, the trials I faced
I know I'm not the only one, and yet events take place
Sometimes it feels, that I'm all alone
And God has somehow overlooked, the things going on
...

When can you get the moment to be at ease
That was before, the prying eyes came to be
You search for answers, to why
And yet the others are watching day and night
...

The Best Poem Of Natasha McGee

Slave Mentality

I think of times when my parents use to say
They have to pick cotton in the field each and every day
They would tell me how it made them feel
To know how race in the south back some years
They speak of the injust and to be thought of as slaves
When they would do their best to make it through another day
My mom would say the temps would be in the 90 degrees
And they would take short breaks sometimes just to eat
I wonder to myself how could they go on
To know God's Grace help them with a song
I tried to imagine how things use to be
To be considered less than dirty by the majority
Know I know the feelings they must have endured
To be abused and mistreated and still struggled through
To know their race had to played a huge part
In segregation, racism and hateful things from the start
I faced just those not those so simple things
I thought it can't been happeing till I heard Let Freedom Ring
I think to myself how can this be
No justice, No freedom, No democracy
I see people of my own race
Disgrace me with their participation and events that take place
I use to think I'm black and I'm proud
Until I look around and seen the crowd
I see people of my own race
Not white, but black participate
Racism was a way to unleash one's fear
Not to let blacks have a say or any tears
I see people of my own race
To engage in injustice and slave mentality in my face
They seem to forget where slaves had to endure
Lynching, hanging and being abused
I think to myself they choose not to see
What happen to slaves, continues to be
One can look the other way and pretend not to see
Racism, injustice and inhumanity
I see people of my own race
I feel sadness, heartbroken and disgrace
I know my words may seem not the case
But when you look in Mirror what do you say
I'm not a Racist, that's what I see
But far from the truth for you and for me
Maybe, one day blacks will come to see
Racism didn't start in the black community
It started when slavery took away your name
No fame, No fortune and others were to blame
I think of the feeling I have today
A Black woman against Racism and Slave mentality everyday
Only with time can Racism heal
No matter how hard you fight on the battlefied
It's a word that means fear against one's race
I already know what has taken place
A great man once said 'Let Freedom Ring'
Back when all slaves could do was sing
So I keep in my heart a solemn prayer
Let freedom Ring everywhere
