THE BEAUTY AND POWER OF THE BLACK WOMAN

Daughter of the Sun-

You are the dark and evening star

Princess of Nubia- the land of the Blacks

Wherever your sisters dwell on the planet-

Do they know your Mother's legend?

From Ashanti to Zulu-

A multitude of Nubian tribes-

Are like seeds thrown into the wind-

Like children stolen from the Garden

Until you- our Queen- comes to save us

Behold- the Light from the darkness

Angels flew Her away to the wilderness

Are you not Isis resurrected?

See how many of us you gave birth to

It came from ancient Kush and the Kongo-

The beauty and power of the  Black woman

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Doesn't cocoa remind us of erotic jungles?

Or sexual pleasure drink from the cola nut?

You have daughters who taste like honey

Why were black roses made taboo?

Perhaps a dark pearl from the bottom of the ocean-

Is like coal that volcanoes turn to diamonds

Call to a generation of Nubian babies-

Don't you recognize your Mother?

Who would dare to make war against Her?

Is She not the Goddess forever?

Find a Black man who still loves and respects Her

You, Black man- take your place by Her side

All She wants is for us to need Her again

She carried us across oceans of blood and time

Her love makes the spirit inside me reborn

Glorify Her daughters- make the world remember-

The beauty and power of the Black woman
