For she was black Yet she never lacked A special treatment she received And never deceived She wanted it all When already she has the mall And felt cheated Even when it was never created She was pained And wanted more Roars like lion began to go viral And like the barking dog She won't stop being mannish Swiftly like the burning flames looking for a place in the sky to shelter She gathered the superfluous in her load of responsibility And chained herself to it Forgetting she is tied She is bargaining for freedom By not even walking on the bare floor She is wanting to sky. - Oyeniyi Joshua
