Tribute To The Black Woman
Admired from day one
Shapely and pleasant
Strong and wise
A tender, comforting brown
The color of her eyes
The natural sway of her walk
Symphony of sound that hits the ear when she talks
With all her worth, she’s still torn down
Beaten down to the ground and further beyond
By society, trying to tell her what is fond
By men, searching for a sexual bond
By herself, she’s a ticking time bomb
Nevertheless I couldn’t be here without you
More true in spirit than a bible
You’re a queen
The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
A tribute to the black woman
(2014)
