The Black Woman
Sitting on top of the world,
With her legs folded elegantly,
Is the black woman,
Coming from nothing,
Determined, underestimated, and in control,
Created to overcome,
Destined to over-acheive
Secretly admired,
By those two jealous to admit,
The strength,
The love,
And the beauty of,
The black woman.
