THE AFRI-BLACK WOMAN

🖤🖤🤍🖤🖤
African and black,
Black and beautiful,
Beautiful and intelligent,
Intelligence exuded freely.

African and black,
Black and bold,
Bold and cultured,
Culture from ancestral trails.

African and black,
Black and  united,
United with smiles,
Smiles from the heart's depth.

African and black,
Black, bold, beautiful,
Black, strong, reliable,
The Afri-black woman.

The Afri-black woman
A sensation of perfection
A divine structure
with arrow piercing crafts and goals

The Afri-black woman
She is strong, she is you,
She is determined, she is you,
She is a leader, she is you.
🖤🖤🤍🖤🖤

WEIGHT OF JUSTICE

Image
Oh, lift me; Lift me, As a wave, ...delightfully dances to celebrate the ocean's roar. Lift me, As a dry weightless leaf, As a single weightless quill, ...warmly embraces the atmosphere's 20.9% oxygen, displayed by its obedient followership. Lift me, With ease, ...as icey crystals aesthetically display the silver linings of the beautiful cloudy sky. Lift me, As dry dusts in stormy deserts, ...abreast the winds with joy and singing upon the  harsh scorches of an unforgiving sun. Alas; Heavy I am, And weighed I lay. Fallen, pierced and crushed upon the thorns of injustices. Corruption pricking my very existence and fading my life to a state of inexistence. My tomorrow? Waning before my today from the lapses and failures of yesterday's self acclaimed "heroes" I bleed! My tomorrow?! A future I crave, For the birthing of a breezy dawn for tomorrow's generation to wing up and soar. Justitia! I yelled, Blindfolded you are, but u

A STORY

Image
A story! A story of how I quenched the thirst of a scorching sun with freshly fetched ocean drench dripping from the spherical lip of a transparent hold. A story! A story of how forsaken the brutality and falls of citizens fade in the sight of their rulers. A common man uncommon before his people for sake of negligence. A story! Oh, rulers...a story! A story to quench the thirst of your wickedness and drain the hunger of sorrow which you crest in the stomachs of your citizens, deeply in the hearts of your youths. A story! Oh, citizens...your story! A story to stand tall, the Iroko heights, climb... ...one, two...rise! the stiffy backs of stallions, saddle... ...kick, kick...run! the shaky vees of canoes, paddle... ...row, row...flow! A fight, Yes, a fight, until you command the times! A story! A story!! This story, mine to tell. .......................................... These blanks, yours to fill, and your story, yours to tell!

OCEANED EYES

Image
Why do you let my cry? When the sorrows in my heart speaks in deep shut words, And my eyes betray my strong person emotions? Why do you let me cry? Why do you let me cry? When my aching heart pricks the injuries of my losses, And my eyes betray the might of my strength? Why do you let me cry? Why do you let me cry? When under moonlight shades, my sheds moan for the brightness of sunlight, Because the agony of my eyes swells in the darkness. Why do you let me cry? How can you feel my pains? When in a couple more weeks, a repeat of past forgiven hurt is reenacted, And my eyes carelessly betrays my sworn confidence? How can you feel my pains? How do I weep more? When weeping depicts my past, present and future, And grief my new found reality? How do I weep more? So, here I am today, Lost in bulged iris, Drowned in usual oceaned tears, Free lashes, stiffened by clogged tear debris, And my face, a reality of pain. Why do you let me cry? How can you feel my pains? Although clearer in
