April 22, 2005:
We had attributed the following poem to an anonymous author. We now know WHO the author is. His name is Kirk Nugent, and he is an inspirational speaker, Campus Awards 2003 Spoken Word Artist of the year, and APCA 2004 Performing Artist Of the year!!It is a game that holds true for deceitful men of any color. See if you have played this game, or have been played by this game.
I observed you from afar, Even though I knew you were taken.
I heard your man throws a good one, and brings home the bacon.
But when I look deeply I could see some emptiness in your eyes.
That's when I knew I could step and get my slice of the pie.
See, I knew my game had to be tight...My stuff legit.
"Else you could just hit me with that "see you in the next lifetime" BULLSPIT!
Naw, so now I step back to methodically I dig the pit.
You're about to become the victim of a cold calculated hit.
See, I knew in some particular area your man had to be slippin'
If only I could find out where, I could exploit it and make you start
trippin'..... I proceeded to introduce myself, and explain how lucky your man must be,
To have here on Earth a girl of your heavenly beauty.
You smiled and looked away, well in fact you blushed,
That's when I knew I was making progress. But hey, no need to rush.
I said good-bye and walked away confident that the foundation was laid....
Knowing it was only a matter of time before I would be getting paid.
The next day I saw you, yeah you were waiting for the bus.
And though I kept my composure, I was overcome by lust.
I told you I was going your direction, and offered you a ride.
You got in. Now I'm one step closer to moving your man aside.
We conversed a little and I found out what area this brother had failed.
Though he may take care of business, he doesn't pay attention to details.
He never seems to notice when you get your hair, face, or nails done.
His mind is focused on business, and he seldom has time for fun.
Though you're an angel, for you he never makes a fuss.
So, I stepped up to the plate and told you, "Baby please, you're gorgeous!"
Starving for the attention of course you gave up the digits.
Now it was only a matter of time that to my will, you would submit.
You gave up the number, saying we could only be friends. Lovers? NEVER!!!
I thought, "How naive...yea baby yea...whatever!"
I said, "Honey please, as gorgeous as you are I'm honored just to know your name"..
Hence the beginning of the game!
Whenever you needed to talk,
I was there to hold your hand as we walked.
When you would cry
I would be there to dry your eyes.
Whenever you were down,
I built you a crown!
Whenever we were together I made sure the time spent was a blast,
I made you close your eyes and took away all the horrors of the past.
I promised to take your troubles away as I placed a pedestal under your feet,
But the fact of the matter is...I'm just a dealer of deceit!
Soon you'll come to see me as one of the nicest men you've met.
And...Of course, I see you as just some girl I haven't slept with yet!
So I complimented you on the clothes you wear,
Paid attention whenever you did your hair.
Asked you about your day and your nothing career,
Promised you silk and fine cashmere as I whispered sweet nothings in your ear,
Told you how you made my heart flutter whenever you drew near...
And to be without you is what I feared.
But no matter what happens, "Honey, I'll always be there."
..."God if you only knew how much I care."
And I told you a bunch of other lies, that women love to hear!
Needless to say you saw me as a friend and your man as the foe.
Took me to bed, not knowing you've been manipulated by a deceitful pro.
And I remembered when you said you weren't with my plan, that you had a man.
You even showed me the engagement band.
But still, you fell for my program of candlelight and slow jams.
Now I'm reaching for the Trojan,
and you ain't thinking about your man.
Your man just left,
he's barely out the door,
and you're calling telling me I pleased you
like you've never been pleased before.
Not realizing that a simple test of life, you've just failed...
Now you're reaching for me thinking you've exhaled.
You don't want me to leave and you're begging me to stay.
But..."I'm a predator baby, and you weak girls-straight up, my prey."
[You had a good man, yes he wasn't perfect.
And here comes the predator to exploit your weakness.
See ladies, when you have a good man, never focus on the small details that he's lacking...
Because there's a predator out there, somewhere, watching.]
So even though you beg, Baby we can't be together, I thought you knew.
Besides you cheated on your man, who's to say you won't cheat on me too!
See I need someone I can work with, not a material girl from around the way...
Who's gonna jump from bed to bed because of a compliment I forgot to pay.
So when you come with your soap opera story wanting to be my bride....
All I got to say is, "Sorry hon, but thanks for the ride!"
Men, do not take your wife/girlfriend for granted. Women, PLEASE do not fall for silver-tongued DEVILS like this. Everyone: send your friends an e-mail about this page ( http://www.thecommitments.org/brogames.html ) to warn them.
" Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard is coming and even now is already in the world. "If you were sent here by e-mail, you may close this window now.

- 1 John 4:1-3(NIV)
"When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."
- James 1:13-15(NIV)
