AFRO WOMAN!!!


AFRO WOMAN!!!

 

She rules supreme in all climes

Elegant as the stallion she is in her prime

Resilience chariots her purpose to fame

A rugged activist, with a cause

As a mother, she needs applause

Afro woman, has come a long way

Give a chance; she will make your day

 

The black woman,

 She has and flaunts her root

Our civilization, she marked her foot

A continuous custodian,

 Our culture to an endless generation

An unending legacy your works show

History becomes famished, excluding you

Your bowels of love, house many great warrior

Even your breast,

Nourished the very weakest of us

 

Our great continent like others,

Your love built.

 

 

Modernism, challenge your virtue

Yes! A true test to size her stature

A colossal pageant, she dominate the picture

In all fields, she blends with the mixture

Her ballooning ambition,

Goliaths spear can’t puncture

For a prosperous nation,

She deserves the credit

Global appeal, your fame conjures

 

 

A real woman, not cheap to capture

Being her guest is always a pleasure

Inside her lies true treasure

Her worth none can measure

Afro woman!

The real deal in a woman

 

 

 

 

All hail!

The African queen!

Her whole essence, is never in doubt

A great woman, fortress to the weak

A woman Moses, standing for all

Very audacious, yet gentle like a dove

In her veins, runs the blood of greatness

A real cover, when all is blown open

 

Yes! The African woman,

An empiric icon of woman hood

 

 

 

 

 

“A beautiful dedication to the BLACK  AFRICAN WOMAN”

Still I Rise ~ Maya

Still I Rise ~ Maya Angelou You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise. Maya Angelou http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqOqo50LSZ0 "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ~ A Course In Miracles

Wonderfully written - interesting, very deep and descriptive. These lines I love so much: History becomes famished, excluding you - it makes a woman feel like a true queen that she really is. Modernism challenge your virtue Being her guest is always a pleasure A great woman, fortress to the weak This is so perfect and all I can say is, "Splendid work my bro" Regards Moloko
