A BLACK WOMAN'S DEFINITION
A BLACK WOMAN'S DEFINITION (ACCORDING TO BLACK MEN)
RESPECT (MEANING UNKNOWN)
ADMIRATION (NOT GIVEN)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (UNRECOGNIZED) LOVE (CASUAL USE, ABUSED)
PRIDE (NOT ENOUGH)
PEDESTAL (REMOVED, VACANT)
THANK YOU (NEVER USED, NEVER SAID)
WAITING, WAITING its' been 3 days,
72 hours and too many minutes to count. I've been waiting, in actual count, its' been,
36 years and 2 months, I've been waiting. The factual count is;
2 decades going on 3, I've been waiting....
For the return of the Black Man's Respect.
