Black Woman
Oh black woman
Your ebony dark skin is a rival to other tribes
Your face, defined and jealousy protected like a pirates treasure
Your skin, scented with perfume like no other
Oh black woman
Men fall drooling when you away your hips to the drums
Or when you walk carrying water from the steam
Your smile is as captivating as the sunset
Oh black woman
The sun itself stirs jealousy of your shining white teeth
The moon acknowledges your beauty
You were made by God with captivating patience
Oh black woman
all those who said eyes on you say that truly you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
