In the days of Nefertiti
Wildlife roamed the ancient city
Egyptians could date them
And sometimes they ate them

My Nefertiti does 
    not come from the 
Dynasty of Pharaoh
Neither does she 
   possess the golden
Adornment

    poise and grace
Of Queen Nefertiti
Never the less she has 
   the grace of the
Daughters 
Of Zion
    Ibilate, you are the 
Queen of my Kingdom
And You are
    My Nefertiti...

Born in Africa
Lovely and rare
Few others can compare
To the depths of beauty and of light
To the colors of her moods
Sometimes blue like Billie Holiday
Sometimes the color purple like Celie or even queen Nefertiti

Never the same
Like an African woman
In Africa or in the diaspora
No one can destroy her
She grows, survives and thrives
She is a jewel infinitely bright
Her name is tanzanite...
