(2/7/13)

She was my black female warrior and she stood proud and tall

And upon her shoulders her silk hair did fall

A spear in one hand and an Axe in the other

No one would mess with her, not even her brother.

The strength of a lion searching for prey

She would not let anything stand in her way.

She knew where she lived – it was a jungle out there

But she was strong in spirit and did not care.

She is the black warrior and as strong as can be

You will find her in the annexes of history.

Just like the movie of “BETTY AND CORETTA”

Who showed what they can do- when they stood

Up against the politicians of the RED, WHITE and BLUE.

We are still being monitored by the land, air and sea

But we’ll continue the fight so that we could be free.

These two women are the black warriors who walk

Hand in hand with all oppressed people who are willing to take a stand.

I am Hispanic and we’ve been denied many rights

Just like any other nationality we’re all willing to fight.

It does not matter our color, religion or

Sexual preference that we may have

“ONE NATION UNDER GOD WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL”

That is FREEDOMS CALL.
