Who was there
In the Beginning
The causation of the
Human race
I was
Whose image graces
The tombs of great kings
In the lands before
Your time
Mine does
Who worked and slept
Laughed and wept
Behind you
Before you and
At your side
I did
So why do you
Treat me with disdain
Subject me to the
Horrors of the day
When I gave you life
You still shake your head
With no recollection of me
Little do you know
I will rise above
The pettiness of human ways
I am not a girl
But a Queen
A Black Woman
The mother of all
Earthly things
I owe to myself
The success of my people
As high as the success
May be and you
Owe it to me
To be the kings
And queens
In the image of
What we used to be
In my image
You have been made
Neither a ****
Nor a ni***
A tramp or a tease
You must remember
I am not a girl
But a Queen
I am a Black Woman
The mother of all
Earthly things
It is not the dying
But the killing that
Weakens our blood
The drugs and the hatred
That have no one to blame
Forget the white man
And remember your name
If WE are all for us
We can rise above the shame
Your words hurt worse
Than the heaviest fist
But through my tears
I still stand proudly
A Black Woman
Your Queen
A daugther of
The mother of all things
