BY GLORIA O’KOYE
You deserve more love than you receive
From this world
Especially from your own kind
Grandmother of nations
That became countless like the
Planets & the moons,
They need to humble themselves
Give their appreciation,
To the womb that gave them the gift of life
Your back…
Decorated with paintings of war,
A lonely road of a resilient soul
Even though your inner cries
Seek out the protection
From the ones that you
Wouldn’t hesitate to jump in front for
Your are a definition
Of what vow-like love is
Some may scold that it’ll be the downfall
Because of how big your heart is
We all know that kind of love is too rare
And no one deserves it,
But you still lovingly give
The Enemies placed their hands
To silence you,
But little did they know
You are the top fighter
You wasn’t going to back down
You have shown them
Your needs and wants,
In the tongue of mankind
But they still didn’t understand
So why would you expect
The world be served to you on a golden platter?
Even though
We all know
That you should be given a robe made of every star in the galaxies,
Presented to you
On diamond encrusted plate
With nations far and wide
Bowing down,
Need to stop looking the other way
Black Woman
Your power
Intimidates them
We have fought too many civil wars
When the serpents of this world declared
There’ll be no mercy
Trying to separate
Because a full unison,
Would lead to a clear
Solid victory!
