Aren`t You Women?

Aren`t you women

Weren`t you loved and

Cared for by those you called family

How dare they be grieved?

How dare they ask you

To leave?

To not be a part of

This society, your family

You have every right

Like most of us do

How dare they treat you

The way they do

You are a mother, a sister

The mistress of a mister

You are the root of a tree

You were given lives

So you may give life

So who dare interfere with

God`s flow of life

You are strong

Your strength is

uncontestable

You are smart

But they say you are not sociable

Aren`t you humans?

And if they treat you

Like animals

Aren`t we all God`s creatures

You look sad

But tears is a language

God understands

So clear your eyes

Of the tears

Throw them on the ground

Throw them at the dehumanizers

Throw them here, there

And everywhere

Some day you will find peace, so be strong

Because it won`t be long

They will want to smile

With you

They will want to hug you, touch you

And know who you are

But pity their feeble minds

If they don`t remember

That you were that little girl, that woman

One who was never cared for, loved

Or accepted to be a part of

A family

In their neglectful society

Who Is My Mother?

Who is my mother?

My mother is that great

Black woman

Who have made a difference in history

My mother is that woman who is still

Making an impact in our lives today

Who is my mother?

My mother is that woman

Who never aborts her child

But carried it into

this world because

She loved and cared for it.

Who is my mother?

You are my mother

I love you mother

I honor you mother

I respect you mother

I will never abuse you mother

Because you are a treasure, mother

Like a jewel you are precious mother

Who is my mother?

It doesn`t matter

Color, race, or religion

My mother has given birth

To many generations

Who is my mother?

My mother is that gift to

A man

She makes his life complete

Yet, sometimes he doesn`t even realize

The great role she plays

 In his world

Who is my mother?

Wherever you are

Whoever you are

There will never be

 Another mother

Like you my mother
