Faith aint no joke
Persons can walk on water
They can walk through blazing fire
And they can walk through a thriving jungle
Teaming with bugs – creepy crawlies of every kind –
Oh yeah – and venomous snakes!
All through the power of faith
Hardliner is walking through this experience
With blind belief in the authority of God
Cause if she did not believe in his power right now
Umph – don’t go there she tells herself
At the moment – she is being kept company by Sam Cook
Crooning in her dome – “it’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon’ come…” Continue reading

Just when Hardliner figures that she’s swimming
In some good clear water
Here comes God to muddy the situation again
Her rational mind tells her that God does not
Purposefully do things to derail her
But dang – the Alpha and Omega
The Great I Am – her Daddy
Likes to keep her on her toes all the time
When she figures that she finally gats all
The players in the game pegged
She knows the situation
She is rolling with the situation
God brings in a new situation to jack up
The good and sure flow she is rolling with
As if to say – can you handle that now?
Which leads Hardliner to believe
That she aint figured out shit! Continue reading

Well – Ms. Change and Transition – one and only Oya
Has gone and outdone herself with this one
Hardliner scans her surroundings
And sista gurl aint impressed
Heyul – she would take her Valhalla experience
Or Hatshepsut with her twinkling eyes
Any dayum day of the week
That diva’s winds done dragged her off to a jungle
How you gon ruff up a High Queen and dump her in a jungle?
Like seriously?
Bush – mosquitoes and snakes?
Really – like seriously?
Uh–uh Ms. Oya – you needs to fix this one
Your transforming winds need to blow a sista outta here

Hey – Oya – hook a sista up! Continue reading

Yeh she knows cussing aint gon get her anywhere
Except a protracted stay in Pisstossity Ville
It aint no way for a Queen to behave
And Hardliner is down for squeezing peace outta a stank situation
But hey – sometimes shit’s real
When a sista gats to secrete some ratchet from her pores
Cause dem mutha fu – umph
In all her pisstossity Hardliner is lucid enough to
Realise that the impulse to squeeze peace outta
This here stank situation is very strong
Because the profanity coming from way down deep inside her gut
Is stubbornly lodged in her throat

The power of pray is awesome

Hardliner scowls at their remark
Whilst her left eye begins to do it’s twitching dance Continue reading

A sista could get used to this
All decked out in warrior gear and with a smooth
Sleek sabre that whistles when brandished
Hardliner checks herself out
Yeh a diva could get used to this
Feeling all powerful and shit!

Hardliner snap out of your Xena Warrior Princess reverie
Ms. Ego is pulling a resurrection on you

Hardliner sighs – can’t a sista admire her swag
For a little while without yall whinging about
Hubris and bravado pulling a coup on Planet Hardliner
Dang! Continue reading

]Who are you trying to fool Boo?

Their voice bespeaks wisdom
The very same kind that illumined Grandma’s eyes
Which could see past all the bullshit and straight
Into the bow-yo (core) of a person
Judging by that no nonsense approach from her Irates
Their brand of wisdom gats the tart taste of Grandma’s wooden spoon
That offered its priceless pearls in a painful way
And being the misdemeanor diva she is
Hardliner is most familiar with the latter Continue reading

Hardliner may be that ride or die Star Wars chick
Heyul – she’ll ride hard for anything with a God
A magic orb – a dashing knight hero with a flaming sword
Enchanted beings – especially elves named Legolas
Umph – a sista could get real creative on dem pointed ears
And as girlfriend revels in her lustful reverie
One of Oya’s feisty gusts snatches her out of it Continue reading
