BLACK WOMEN Black women that their wombs carry black semen, give birth to black children, black men and even more black women Black women the face, the meaning Black women that bring, the meaning to the word P.O.V.E.R.T.Y. Picture black women homeless in Zimbabwe Black women displaced by a vicious civil war in Sudan Black women pass away everyday hungry in Ethiopia black women carrying AK – 47s Protecting their black children in Liberia, Black women landmine’d in plowing fields legless and armless in Sierra Leone Black women in Nigeria Black women the tears Picture Amina Lawal, Awaiting in vain sentenced to be stoned to death whilst only her head remains above Mother Earth what about the black man that planted the black semen? for Amina alone to be stoned Black women in Europe Brazil and Africa Black women in America Black women that have turned to crack women Picture Afeni homeless with kids in the streets of BRONX where was the Black Panther? that preached black unity, black power that screamed “united we stand, divided we fall!” did they miss her call? Black women the black love Black love the black pride Picture Debra Howard On the eve of October 6, 2005 Black semen, black child A black child has a black mind It feels like I heard all her sorrowful cries that night and of too many black women calling from the far… far away Save them, bring them back dear GOD, I pray (for tomorrows Women's Day!)
