James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Dramatic Monologue

WHOM TOLD YOU THIS-

Mellow golden browned skin
Naked no one knew then
Eyes of her Father’s
Blacken hair coarse fine
All at the same time
Washed feet
Forehead sweet

Whom a told you this

Strong neck
Walks in royalty
Statured heavenly
Ebony queen
All at the same time
Washes her feet
Bare sole never touches the streets

She’s clean brown and golden
Naked no one knew then
Eyes of her Father
She’s cleansed up to her teeth
Top of her head
Down to the soul of vessel
She measures worth more than the universe
Her feet so sweet
He forehead so sweet
Her hands so sweet

Whom told you this
