A Tribute To a Phenomenal Woman

THE VOICE, THE VOICE, THE VOICE of yesterday & today that once seek solace 
within her bosom made way for words, 
words that billowed with intent calling deep within 
the strength to overcome racism and trauma!

She will war NO MORE, NO MORE , NO MORE Queen courageously
 challenged the world to change & engaged in the rights of her 
people, inspiring them to dream, a warrior for equality, tolerance, & peace!

Like the dinosaur in "On The Pulse Of Morning" she too left tokens 
here of her sojourn on this planet, like "Ginuwine" THERE'S NO ROOM, 
NO ROOM, IN THOSE JEANS, IN THOSE JEANS, IN THOSE JEANS there 
will never be another her shoes are to big to fill My Sister, Mrs. Dr. Angelou.

DON'T CRY, DON'T CRY, DON'T CRY for she has transcended, gone 
home to glory don't remember her with tears, in fact, let laughter 
fill the air, CEEELLLLEBRATE good time her life, legacy, love, wisdom, & knowledge!

Teacher, poet, & activist her words RANG, RANG, RANG loud & clear 
"Phenomenal Woman, Phenomenally was she"!
