On Love
Love is…
A mothers love that
leaves her gray at thirty-five
A fathers love that
leaves his pockets empty
A sisters love that
leaves her without a childhood of her own
A brothers love that
sends him to work before his adolescence
A friends love that
keeps her feelings inside
Love is…
A revolutionary leaders restless life
A teachers devotion
A charismatic leaders death
LOVE IS A SACRIFICE!
On Being Black
What is this thing called black?
And where the hell is blackland?
And what is black culture?
Is black a state of mind?
Or a state of being?
And who the hell has the right to take away my identity and call me black?
Is black positive?
Or is black negative?
What is this thing called black?
And where the hell is blackland?
In black my kinky hair?
Or is black my processed hair?
What is this thing called black?
Is black a reaction to white?
Or is black a part of white?
What is this thing called black?
And what the hell is white anyways?
On Life
What is life and what role do I play?
Life is like a broadway play without a dress rehearsal
chaotic
confusing
The critics are always there to let you know what a mess you’ve made of things
While offering no solutions
Period

On Being An African Woman
I am the backbone of the nation
without me there would be destruction
I am the creator of the nation
without me there would be no active struggle
I am the glue that holds the family together
without me there would be no active struggle
I am African Woman
it is in my womb that the nations thoughts are formulated
it is through my teachings that morals are learned
I am African Woman
powerful as Nefertiti
