Black woman



Black woman of polished skin
Portraying a glimpse of paradise
Her black skin sparkles like a diamond
Her beauty lies right in her eyes
5. Ancient woman of nature's colour
She is powerful and dreaded
Soaring far as an eagle, Roaring loud as a lion,
10. Black woman, Pure hands
Her great hands sharper than spears
Slay heads in fierce battles
With her delicate hands She fight wars thicker than rocks
15. Dark woman, Black gold
On her thighs stands her children,
Great nations of long time race
Beneath the root of her hairs are
Great lands of comfort and peace
20. Black woman, Dark mother
Strapped on her back is
her giant female
An infant but yet full of power
Fighting wars with
The sounds of her voice
25. Black woman, Dark beauty
Her shadows heals the broken mind
Her savory lips kiss the stars
Shinning brightness into her being
Black woman, Dark lady
30. Great woman of
Inestimable value.
