The Essence of a Black Woman
Her heart is as pure as Africa’s gold.
And no one knows the full depths
of her unconquerable soul.
Her treasure is her
Knowledge of the universe.
Her pleasure are endless
and many thirst.
Her food for thoughts is how
To stay in God’s good grace, being
forever mindful that no man
Can ever take His place.
Her defensive posture is that
of bended knees, bowed
head and humble heart.
From this position she prays
that war and hatred will end
and the love of all life will start.
When you look at a Black Woman,
just look pass what you see,
Understanding that her Essence was
Made out of unadulterated History!
