Black Woman

Oh black woman Your ebony dark skin is a rival to other tribes Your face, defined and jealousy protected like a pirates treasure Your skin, scented with perfume like no other Oh black woman Men fall drooling when you away your hips to the drums Or when you walk carrying water from the steam Your smile is as captivating as the sunset Oh black woman The sun itself stirs jealousy of your shining white teeth The moon acknowledges your beauty You were made by God with captivating patience Oh black woman all those who said eyes on you say that truly you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
