Hello everyone,

I'm new here and a great poem enthousiast. I've been looking for a poet and it's author for a while now. I've jumped into it on my teen years(now 29) and from what I can recall it's from an African American woman poet, occasionally she performed poems with another woman as a sister duo, who was also an academic and an activist/feminist.
The poem itself goes on about some children/kids that grow amidst battle fields/bullets and has a specific verse that goes "These are the flowers(or roses, can't say for sure) that i call my own"
Does it ring any bell

I've search the entire web but can't find nothing

Please help me
Thanks,
Anna
