Respect:so little yet valueable
Respect : So little yet so valuable. It should be given without asking. Here is a typical AeAfrican poem from a woman wRrwtrho wants nothing more than to be respected. What am I to say From a colored woman's prospective today With my Brown skin Dark eyes Thrifty dreams African American eyes Feels like a hot breeze from Congo Blowing my way With echoes from the mountains And whispers Whispers Manipulating my soul To dance and sing And listen to the drummers Listen Shhhhhhhhhhh They are speaking to me Can't you hear? Sending a message out to us sista's Us women of color Us women of glory And eternal everlasting My ancestors look at us in discuss With our chemical treated hair Body exposed like we don't care And my back pressed up against the wall With my belly sticking out And my tears that stained my cheek And my intelligence turned weak Us colored women today, yes us colored women today What's next, they cut off the welfare checks
