08 Mar Daughters of Africa
Black is gold.
Black is beautiful.
Black and proud.
Like an apple tree
among the trees of the forest
is the black woman among the women of the world
She is beautiful and elegant
She is the daughter of Africa.
She is the Black woman
She sees beyond now
Even though the future is now.
Versatile, consolatory, flexible, goal getting,
tenacity, purposeful, ambition, vision, dreams,
insight, foresight, and more are all inbuilt for the daughters of Africa.
Women of distinction
Women of substance
Women of purpose
Please don’t judge her because of the colour of her skin,
for there is more to her than meets the eyes.
She’s been through so much emotional pain,
Yet, she stands and refuses to let her past determine her attitude and the beauty inside her.
“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder,” they said.
But I’ve seen
Beauty beyond the makeups
Beauty inside out
Beauty and brain
She is black and beautiful
Beauty beyond the eyelashes.
She is beautiful through and through.
She is the daughter of Africa.
From the westside to the south,
central Africa to the Eastside of Africa
The daughters of Africa
Shine like diamonds
Diamonds who have gone through the furnace of fire
I salute the daughters of Africa
I salute the female seed of kush.
With the daughter of Africa by my side
I can run through a troop
Leap over walls,
I can climb mountains
Cross overseas.
With the daughter of Africa by my side
Let me face a mighty army without a weapon of war
And I’ll be victorious
Put me in the dungeon,
The dry out where there is no water,
and maybe there are snakes in the pit,
Their venoms will not harm me
As long as the daughter of Africa is by my side.
Take me to the highest building in the world,
Bless me with all the luxuries, comfort, and pleasures.
But don’t make me go without the daughter of Africa by my side.
She survives against all odds
Traditions of men do not favour her
Lack of education is a huge setback for her
Oh! the daughters of Africa
Whether in the motherland or the diaspora
The spirit is strong
The spirit is rising
Rising above hate, jealousy, criticism,
trauma, depression, the laws of men,
everything that cages her dreams, visions, and her personality.
Rising from obscurity to visibility
For the daughters of Africa are humility personified
The daughters of Africa are Priceless
How lovely!
How Beautiful!
Queens, they are called in the motherland
Precious pearls are their names in the diaspora.
Inspirationally beautiful
You can’t be around the daughters of Africa and be sad all day long
You can’t be around the daughters of Africa and not geared up for greater glory.
Submission is not her weakness
The truth is submission is her strength
Even though she has been taken for granted because she submitted
Oh! the daughters of Africa
Light up my world
Level up my journey to destiny
Oh! daughters of Africa
from sunrise to sunset
May I behold the beauty
The ecstasy and the wonders of the daughters of Africa
