Africans Are Women

Great Kingdom,who shakes despair To barter to whites in pair for gold Where cane were served to serve as food for he who tries to steal farmer's cane of sugar Where black push at horses presence Where black tills at tractor's abundance Where sand top menu for menu for years Lips sores as metal clipped bore weight Freedom lost,right buried; Shame served Perseverance made the word of years; A watchword glued to mouth Endured sufferings for wards in womb Yay,they won,an emergence. Patient,courageous,strong and Victor How Strong is Africa? Its length an unmeasurable one . House holder,secret Keeper Home maker,Home teacher Best Partners,Life savers; Of all to women, Who like Africa faces despairs, Nine months,no peace, Grown kids,more heat, Like Africa,they were present,saw and won . Oh Women,Africa art thou Oh Africa,Women is you Vast,Strong,Courageous Your prowess;second to none Oh Africa,Women art thou
