A Tribute To a Phenomenal Woman

THE VOICE, THE VOICE, THE VOICE of yesterday & today that once seek solace within her bosom made way for words, words that billowed with intent calling deep within the strength to overcome racism and trauma! She will war NO MORE, NO MORE , NO MORE Queen courageously challenged the world to change & engaged in the rights of her people, inspiring them to dream, a warrior for equality, tolerance, & peace! Like the dinosaur in "On The Pulse Of Morning" she too left tokens here of her sojourn on this planet, like "Ginuwine" THERE'S NO ROOM, NO ROOM, IN THOSE JEANS, IN THOSE JEANS, IN THOSE JEANS there will never be another her shoes are to big to fill My Sister, Mrs. Dr. Angelou. DON'T CRY, DON'T CRY, DON'T CRY for she has transcended, gone home to glory don't remember her with tears, in fact, let laughter fill the air, CEEELLLLEBRATE good time her life, legacy, love, wisdom, & knowledge! Teacher, poet, & activist her words RANG, RANG, RANG loud & clear "Phenomenal Woman, Phenomenally was she"!
