African Queen
Beauty is her face.
Grace is her body.
She has all the earth on her shoulders.
She wears the crown on her head.
She lives with power.
All the might she can give.
Never has to worry about the bad.
Dream of only the good.
Courage is her heart.
Kindness is her smile.
She has dealt with the suffering,
but with the guide of her ancestors,
she rose from the ashes.
Melanin is her skin,
shining in the sunlight.
Let her live in peace.
Let her rule from her throne.
