I shouldnt have to beg 
to be wanted 
I should be able to be subtle 
and not always flaunt it 
I should be the one you want 
to hold late at night…. 
I should be the one 
to make your burdens light 
I shouldnt have to plead 
just to hear your voice 
why am I last on your list 
when I should be your only choice 
Me and all my smoothe brown 
should be your playground 
Why wont you choose to get lost 
in my pleasantness…in my plumpness 
in my gentle caress 
As I give you warm kisses on your neck 
I … 
shouldnt have to beg to be wanted 
or desired…as I am a woman of 
true desire…why wont you use 
My passion to inspire 
the fire in you… 
You should be partaking of me 
morning noon and night 
Basking in my essence… 
until you feel alright… 
By your lack of desire… 
I am haunted… 
so I digress 
Because 
I shouldnt have to beg 
to be wanted

Breaking DOMA News of the Day: In a victory for gay marriage advocates that rivals the enormity of Proposition 8 in California, the First Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Boston today upheld a lower court’s ruling and declared the federal Defense of Marriage Act unconsitutional.

From the court’s opinion:

“[M]any Americans believe that marriage is the union of a man and a woman, and most Americans live in states where that is the law today. One virtue of federalism is that it permits this diversity of governance based on local choice, but this applies as well to the states that have chosen to legalize same-sex marriage. Under current Supreme Court authority, Congress’ denial of federal benefits to same-sex couples lawfully married in Massachusetts has not been adequately supported by any permissible federal interest.”

Expect the ruling to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
