Woman

A word to the woman

see It wasn’t that man’s rib that made us strong, it was the breath that God blew into our lungs. 

So, like David we write our own psalms. 

Only a woman can stand this strong.  As we bare witness while the police killing our sons.

From dusk till dawn, we stand up fight and never run. 

I know some of y’all don’t understand my dialect and can’t appreciate my intellect.

 I mean no disrespect.

I didn’t come here to protest a battle between sexes. 

I’m just pondering when did women become the provider & protector?

When did our roles intertwine & become one? 

We carry, labor and raise him, but only a man can teach his son to become one. 

So many women doing manly jobs. 

That’s why when men approach us, we come off so hard. 

Our scars hold more than 16 bars. 

The more estrogen the more heart. 

Like Rosa Parks we move the movement, 

and every time our strength is tested, we prove it.

We adapt and overcome, every obstacle & every situation.

Like a lioness we’re never extinct, and ain’t no replacing us. 

God placed his greatness in us!

That’s why every living human being comes from within us 

THE WO-MAN.
