Hardliner: Sweet Chile Chronicles: Sweetz’n me

Standard

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth
But Hardliner can’t help but to wince at the
Unfolding story before her with trepidation
Cause since sista gurl has stepped into her griot era
She will have to tell that shit – knowing that there
Are a seemingly plethora of gastritis inducing stories
Germinating in her gut – to work their holy ordained magic
In leading her into the highest version of gerbringing her into her higher self
These stories bring uncomfortable truths to light
And Ms. Griot will admit that she feels the innate urge
To avoid the light like a vampire
In this present moment Hardliner acknowledges that
Self-preservation is that bitch – keeping her in a stasis where
She is content to put up with the gastritis devouring her gut

Hardliner: Sweet Chile Chronicles: Unburdening the Word

Standard

You know the thing about whooping dead horses
Is that they come back to haunt your ass in ghost mode
Only to become the thing administering the whooping
Now she gats the ghost of a dead horse whooping the melanin off her ass
Shit – she used to say all she can do is stay black and die
Well a bitch is running out of options for her existence

That’s just a bit macabre don’t you think dear
Dead horses and what not – I take it the dead horse is
A metaphor for something that is whooping you at the moment


Hardliner sighs through pursed lips as Ms. Rennah makes an appearance
Decked in her flowing amber robes
With that mischievous – yet mirthful twinkle lighting up her eyes

Not today Ms. Rennah

Tell me your story Griot
The Earth Mother adds with that intuitive smile
That sets Hardliner’s stomach ablaze with – she stops for a moment
Trying for the life of her to figure out what
Cause sista – just lost her train of thought
Either menopause rolled up on her like the low-down
Dirty thief of thought that she is
Or that Hardliner does not truly know what she feels about
Ms. Rennah ferreting out the identity of her dead horse
Righteous indignation maybe can suffice but if she’s honest
It more looks like Ms. Petty has come out to play
And Hardliner is in her Queen era – if there is one thing

Hardliner: Sweet Chile Chronicles: Deep waters

Standard

Oooh chile
It has been a minute
Sista’s plate has been full of late
Balancing that master’s degree with work and motherhood
Plus – that dissertation is working the one last
Tired ass nerve she is pimping

I hear you sis – Ms. Ego has been her companion
On her life walk these past months
Now Hardliner knows that chick gats issues
And at present she and Ms. Menopause get on like a house on fire
You could say that they conjoined twins
And if Hardliner is honest – she kinda likes the vybe
Cause she can be irascible and blame it on menopause
But then there are those days when dem two bitches
Are too extra for a sista and she gats to crawl back to God
Pleading for peace and forgiveness
It is like she is constantly slaying her Ego and the bitch
Keeps resurrecting – no matter how many magnesium capsules
Hardliner keeps popping

Heffa – you know I make life interesting –
