Ms. Melanin! (Dark Sisters Tribute Poem) ©2005-11
Black like Alec Wek
Exotic like Grace Jones
Ethereal like African Ancestral Slave Bones
Like Maat on her throne
When you was little they used to laugh at your skin tone
But I begged their pardons and scooped you up like chocolate ice cream from Baskin
Robbins
So Im fortunate to have you girl
And I love to come into your black world
Your black hole of soul
To ascend with you to heaven is my ultimate goal
I love the way we unfold through life
The way in the midst of hell
You create a paradise
They all said you was mean, but I knew Id fine the nice
Brown sugar and jerk spice
You my dumplins on my beans and rice
For you Ill make that sacrifice
Lets chill
Lets settle down
We dont have to go mainstream we can keep it underground
Its up to you
You're my heaven
I love you
Ms. Melanin!
You're my buga bu
My champion without competition
Victorious without an opponent
You're the top muse on the catwalk that I come out for my standing ovation too
You're the president of my corporation the queen of my projects
The sister soldier of sex
You're my wifey like next
You're my ideal
For you Ill keep it real
Ill
