Telling It Like It Is

By Bruce Fraizer

This all took place back in my high school years where my writing would go into my dresser draw. Later in my college years to be inspired by others who read some of my work. Also being inspired by the great Langston Hughes reading his poetry gave me the inspiration to write more with thoughts about life and endless images.
Throughout my vision of writing ideas exploded into words and then formed into a poem or story. Writing was always my way of expressing my feelings and thoughts.
Furthermore I experienced similar episodes of my own which gave me fruit for thought in my own travels.

Introduction

These poems are expressed as actual events that took place at some point in time. One should not be afraid to tell the other like it is. Witnessing or experiencing your point of view to be told or heard. Most people don’t like to hear the truth because the truth hurts. When you’re telling it like it is, you’re not only being true, but you’re also keeping it real, and for those who can’t handle what has been said, they’re the ones that will be left in the dark or still in denial.

Candy

Candy sweet taste good in all shapes and sizes

Can you feel my temperature rising

Ooh chocolate chip

Tastes good with that big dip

Rich in taste like a Tootsie Roll

Eating my deep milk chocolate like a donut with a hole

Sit back and listen to some hip hop

While I suck on your blow pop

Carmel raisins nuts rolled into a pack

Can you feel my Snickers bar hitting it from the back

Smooth, soft, hard, and round

Buying some candy so let’s go downtown

So break me off with some of that Kit Kat

Mmm . . . that’s the spot so hit that

Mary Jane was my favorite thang

Just eating her made me go insane

After having that I was never the same

All kinds of candy taste good I want some

Don’t make me wait too long to come

Rainbow stripe like a candy cane

Did you say your name was Mary Jane

Sweet-tasting candy I just can’t stop

So keep giving me your blow pop

I have a 3 Musketeers

Shoot me with your juice I dare

Juicy Fruit overrides a big red

It tickers when you play with the head

And most of all it feels good in bed

Sweet chocolate-covered mints

Don’t you get the hint

Cheery, strawberry, lemon, and lime

I like to eat candy all the time

It’s like candy singing the song

Having a good time all night long

Can’t get enough

Of that thick rich chocolate stuff

In the house eating candy is the place to be

My face tilted up and the chocolate on me

I’ll Do Anything

When there is nothing in the fridge

I’ll do whatever it is

To put food on the table

Whenever I’m able

I’ll do anything for you

Rob a bank with a plan of getting away too

While nothing stands in my way

So go ahead and make my day

While on crack

You’re trying to beat that

So when you’re down and low

You will do anything for the blow

So you can’t cope

From being on the dope

Selling myself to the highest bidder

Then running from the gun before they pull the trigger

I’m out there

Doing anything without a care

Are you listening to these breaks

Because I’ll do whatever it takes

I’ll take your car now it’s mine

Then your girl if she’s fine

And then take you out by dropping a dime

Don’t you understand

I’ll do anything I can

Listen to what I say

Nothing is going to get in my way

I’ll take your man

Because I can

And they never turn down a piece of ass

’Cause it’s me they’re giving the cash

So whatcha gonna do

Is it something new

’Cause I’ll do anything for you

Busted

When you cheated

I was so heated

So you thought you could get away

Not with the modern technology of today

Conversing on the phone

While you were home

And you didn’t know that

The phone line had a wire tap

You can’t deny

So don’t try to lie

Thinking to yourself how could it be

When you asked her, she said, It wasn’t me

Ah, so you thought

You could not get caught

Now you’re busted

Don’t you feel discussed

It’s your voice

’Cause now you have no choice

But to tell the truth so we can move on

’Cause if you sit there and lie then I’m going to be gone

You got caught it was a matter of time

Tapping your own phone is not a crime

Just out of the blue

This could happen to you

While dialing that 10-digit number to send

There could be someone on the other end

Fast Food

Everybody knows McDonalds is crap

That’s where they found the rat at

Go to Burger King there’s no harm

Flame-broiled burger now that’s the bomb

Don’t think Wendy’s is all villy nilly

I found a long string of hair in my chili

Where is there a good spot

Flies around the window not at Ihop

Kentucky Fried Chicken

Is not finger lickin

Soaked in grease and wet

Listen up I’ll bet

Your stomach will be upset

Popeye’s Chicken

In competition

With Crown Fried

You don’t know who to believe they all tell lies

Going to a diner

Is no finer

Workers fighting food cold and burnt

I’m out of here forget dessert

White Castle

Is no hassle

Get your burgers and go

To the office, home, or to the show

The best thing about their burgers is soybean

Taking you to the bathroom if you know what I mean

Small orders look like jive

So what people do is super size

So be careful of what you eat

It just maybe your last treat

Ooh Baby Push It

Ooh baby, baby as I sigh

Ah, right there you wanna make me cry

Yeah, touch it, lick it, kiss it

And now dip it

Ah ooh, ah ooh, say my name

Slap my booty bite my tits it’s just a game

Let’s play doctor and nurse

Ooh baby, baby, please don’t curse

Ah ah, f____, you are one bad nurse

Up and down in and out

Feel the wetness running all about

Sweating, pumping, hearing that sound—swish, swish

Still pumping as we kiss

Ah, my doctor ooh, my nurse

Push it, but please don’t curse

Ah, f____ got damn, don’t you even think I’m gonna split

Ooh baby, baby, baby, this is the s___

So push it

Every now and then

Treat this p____ like an ATM

No withdrawals only deposits

So give me the cash

And keep on tapping that ass

Do you want a receipt yes

So squeeze the milk from my breast

Now what is the balance

Your d____ went down like a flat sandwich

Oh no, got to get it up so don’t start trucking

Kneel down and start sucking

Mmm, my jack and the bean stalk

It’s so hard as if it can talk

Ooh baby, ah baby, sweating pumping don’t lose it

’Cause you don’t want me to up and split

Can’t you feel my body jumping around

My love chi ching chi ching coming down

I once again hear those sounds

Swish, swish, swish

Oh my God thank you Jesus

It’s my period I thought I missed

Wait we need to stop

Hell no you better get a mop

I’m swimming in this splish splash

All night long tapping that ass

So stop with the b___s___

And push it

Betrayed

How do you mend a broken heart

When your man was cheating straight from the start

Lies, deception, and betrayal

At the end the truth will prevail

All this time

He had another love other than mine

Trust, honesty, faith, and respect all went out the window

And that’s when our marriage began to dwindle

You’re supposed to be my man sleeping in my bed

But had a secret life somewhere else instead

I was told but could not believe

How I could be deceived

And then he fathered another woman’s child

So here I stand in denial

Still trying to get over what took place

The biggest shock was a slap in the face

What I saw from my own eyes

The exact thing he was trying to deny

Here the other woman at my door step

In my bed the night before where they slept

I cried many days and many nights

Wondering if I should put up a fight

But I held it together

’Cause it was now or never

Now I couldn’t take it anymore

So I packed my bags and headed for the door

Telling him a good woman he had that

Turned around walked out the door and never looked back

Those words you used to say I love you

Were never true

How does one recover from being betrayed

It just makes the woman more afraid

To trust another man

While loving him and holding his hand

Now what kind of stuff do you think you’re smoking

Playing with my emotions

If I snapped for a second and had gone insane

Killing him for playing his game

Now I would be in the wrong

For killing a dirt bag when I should have been gone

I’m now trying to learn everyone is not the same

So now I’m trying to love once again

Hello Stranger

Hello stranger where have you been

Knocking on my door come on in

It’s been so long

Since the last talk on the phone

So what’s brewing

And how are you doing

Sit down and let’s talk

Or do you want to go for a walk

I’m glad you’re back to stay

From moving so far away

Out of my life for many years

With thoughts of laughter and tears

Fun times of never letting you go

This is what I want you to know

How I feel

And to show my love is for real

So don’t be a stranger

I love you I don’t hate cha

Let’s start fresh

Wishing for the best

That we both can pass any test

So let’s make a deal

And pray that our love is for real

You’re making a brand new start

By fulfilling my heart

I sincerely don’t ever want us to be apart

Very soon I have to go

For what reason I don’t know

Please don’t leave my sight

I want you to miss your flight

And stay with me tonight

Breakfast in the morning that’s alright

Better yet what happened in the bedroom was outta sight

It’s been a very good day

But I cannot stay

So come back again

Every now and then

If I’m here I’ll let you in

So don’t worry I don’t hate cha

Just don’t be a stranger

Tilapia

Tilapia is a good-tasting fish

So tell me what else goes with this dish

Dance

Romance

And a little glance

Of ooh la, la

I wasn’t expecting this from you, Mama

That thong

Is singing a song

So let’s get it on

Tilapia a
