The lowest rung of society only has one home
Holding the immense pressures of each social class
Living up to the standards they gave you
And the rules you must abide
You’re worse than any european man
Who chose to hide when we chose to rise
You are degraded more than any black man
Who sat in a freedom ride
I know it’s a large pill to swallow
What could be more hallow?
An albino woman?
The albino woman is already set above any colored woman
She can’t even follow the trial and carry the load
Yet the black woman is just low
Low enough to fall out of the top
She fights alongside her family
Only to be hushed when she takes a standing
The black woman has reached a new low
Lower than the streets of skidrowe
But what is she?
Powerful
Nourishing
Bold
Bold enough to lay low and let you take hold
Being that she’s the creator of life on earth
She’ll allow you to think the garden man is the start
They often ask what is the lowest you can physically depart
But the farthest mentally you can be apart
I answer in one line
Black women are Divine
