they call her blessed...
she's ninety...
good age huh??
..lived through bus boycotts
and Vietnam...
cotton pickin' days and
civil rights
uncivil nights-
..she witnessed her sons die
before her...
didn't vote
didn't pass the literacy tests
but her soul bled a hell of a note which said
"the tears of joy in my eyes- over my long life l shed"
huh-
...in her clouded misery... an answer?
must be faith that keeps her
must be her humility that draws the community
to her wisdom...
must be the world that gave her that pitch- that tone that
grabs your attention..
l must mention when her gray eyes look at you
she throws the book at you- she doesn't have to read-
you do.
she's gone now...
she knew God in her own way..
taught us how to pray
she didn't finish school
but we learned by her rule and graduated....
this woman..
she was blessed.
 
truely blessed
and words confess
and never contest
she weather da storms
worked through da struggle
she witness da march
da speech and she teach
i vow in respect to this
great woman and it never
ends

tyte write and made my mind fall on a woman i know of
who been and seen through her dayz of maze and she
of age and wise and hold many in her grasp love da flow !
A1 tops bruh
