Best Strong Black Woman Poems

Do not call me
strong Black woman for
it is not a compliment
It is a title given to us
boxed inside expectations that
weigh us down
We are not superheroes
yet we are branded with
an "S" on our chest
forced to steer clear of
the kryptonite called failure
Black women aren't
supposed to fall
We're expected...

A Strong Black Woman
Is someone who can hold her own,
She's never weak
Always strong.

She's very independent
Don't need a man,
On her own two feet
She can stand.

She keeps her head up high
Never looking down,
She's very outspoken
Holds her ground.

She has a college education
Very smart,
She knew what she wanted
From the...

There are people who believe otherwise
But America is not 
Just some middle class white man,
Living a suburban life,
Drinking coffee every morning,
Eating breakfast with his beautiful wife and children.
The American dream right.
But America is more than that

America is a Cuban boy
Being as loud as...

L'Overture


Lest we forget
Words often mouthed
For the dead of bloody war
Forgot not those great ones
Whose battles were on the home front
Seeking only equality of voice

Ray Charles to you was a singer
Backwards and long ago he was a preacher
A brilliant man of forward thought
Who gifted the world...

Black woman you are strong.
Black woman you are the one,
Black woman you are a true blessing on this little island.

bring.
Black woman you are the epitome...

A voluptuous body, look at those thighs

WOMAN
Of Congo, 
Chewed, 
Spat out,
And bestowed with straw basket
To fetch water. 
You set upon us 
Wild dogs, 
Stretching our legs wide,
Ripping out our genitals and dignity
To nurse your children’s 
Craving.

‘fore you design gods;
Ones who create dolts, 
Small-minded folks, 
And feast on...

She struggled for the rights of the people

The mother of our nation, we all called her Sister...

Nefertari
Amenities of the African lands
Indigenous black beautiful roses
Of the African soil

In a black alluring archaic vogue

Balleting in a black dulcet rhythm
Of the African ancient song
With an

The power of Thee
Black Spiritus mundi

Brown eyes, Thick bones
Curly kinky afros
Dark...
