Phenomenal Woman
screams and tears on a starry night
a child is born, a woman of light
celebration for she is a blessing
given to the world to teach a lesson
innocent and pure she is
obedience and love she breathes
loved by the almighty himself
from her predecessors the savior himself
Some seek to cast her down
others seek to tear her gown
A garment of pride and confidence
They aim to make her like her precedents
immortal she is not
Sometimes life gets hot
invisibility is not hers
Silence in lots of jars
She sees the time to be seen
and hears the time to be heard
She will not walk by you
without a second glance like the color blue
Her confidence is contagious
It makes some others delirious
She wakes up in the morning
and the devil is mourning
angry at her rise
righteousness, forever in her life
till the day she dies
and leaves this world of lies
seen she shall be
heard she shall be
her life a lesson
Her existence a blessing
phenomenal woman
