Poem
June 2, 2014 at 7:26pm Too much testosterone in our Bologna too much testosterone-e in our baloney killed the dignity of our femininity. Stepped out of my character onto front lines, armed with cocktails, rocks, and lighters Mothers, warriors, and freedom fighters. Black, setbacks and women's rights too taking us back 360 degrees, we needed to be seen on the scene. We had double the work to do. While men wore heels and Jerri curls. So many have forgotten BUT I was there, I still remember.... Losing ground while trying to make gains Slaying giants in arenas, while dying in the board room. Burning symbolic bras on battlefields; We proved ourselves bold. Not blindly obeying, doing "as we were told" So many have forgotten I was there, I still remember.... While we exercised our right to vote. Rights we earned, while crosses burned No voting while female, no voting while black Now from the women rights; Our rights were taken back. Steadfast we remained yet loving tender. So many have forgotten I was there, I still remember.... Too much testosterone in our Bologna We did the man’s job and fought for the same pay waging war over wages; Women of the ages, saying "no" to, demands outrageous.! Steadfast we remained, yet loving tender. So many have forgotten I was there, I still remember.... When we were women, we stood strong fighting two sides of the battle against wrong, Wrongs against our race, and the wrongs against our gender. Steadfast we remained yet loving tender. So many have forgotten I was there, and I still remember.... We were women back then we were sisters, friends, and mothers. They said we were disrespectful, and displaying disrespect, because we leave the battle field and go hang out at discotheques. Steadfast we remained, yet loving tender. So many have forgotten, I was there, I still remember... Some battles we Won, Some say we lost the War We lost our men and we lost our sons Food modified for power and control chemicals and G M O'S Women fulfilled many roles politically incorrect or not, We had to take our liberties back. Something in the state of New-York is certainly Rotten I am here now and I have not forgotten. Today I shape- shift like a one celled amoeba from Inzinga to Harriet from Harriet to Condalisa from Condalisa to ANGELA D - FROM ANGELA TO OPRAH FROM OPRAH TO YEMAYA,from Yemaya to Maya from Maya to Queen-Mother-Ya-Asantewaa WHO PROTECTED US THROUGH THE MIDDLE PASSAGE goddess warrior, revolutionist - You see I am a female deity I am here now," I am Oladeji, and I have not forgotten".
