Phenomenal Angel- Maya Angelou Tribute

You are too dark, too unimportant, your stomach is bulging, they said.. Thank God for this angel, she didn't let negativity settle in my head, Although I am a man, I never thought the day would come when I would see, myself not as a failure but phenomenally, Ms. Angelou was a single mother, the struggle was difficult I know it, but she still found time to become America's favorite poet, her words were like animals running free on a meadow, never ending like rejection by the world while living in a ghetto, who ever thought a black woman from Missouri could recite a poem at the inauguration, Ms. Angelou, you are the face of our cultures perpetuation, you gave faith and hope to many, including me, Thank you angel for teaching us to live, PHENOMENALLY..
