Colored Woman Section
I am, WOMAN,
COLORED.
Ask Nikki about me.
Apparently I still rise,
Despite how much I am ignored.
Poor, MAN,
COLORED.
Everyone's out to get you.
But I will raise your kids,
Work three jobs,
Cry at your funerals,
And-Those-Of-My-Sons,
Who are, MAN,
COLORED.
Poor my daughters,
Who will end up,
Just like me, WOMAN,
COLORED.
I live in a cycle of proverty.
You can't even see,
Or much less want to see.
How long shall I suffer,
In silence?
No more!
