Analysis of Behind the black woman
We see beauty,love and peace
Deep down she feels pain,hatred and hurt. Behind her smile lies lack 0f discretion.
She sees the world as a hindering her sucess.
She beams with joy and hope of a better tommorrow ,
She laughs with anger.
Her love just like that of a mother
Her cry like that of an orphan
Her suffering like that of a slave
Her love leaves you with so much to savour on.
Behind the black woman lies self dependence
Her breath gives life
Without wealth her love gives health.
Black woman! Well sculpted woman
Though your fanciful smile still begets hope for the future of your fruits.
Your pain felt within my soul
Kept in aspiration
In tarry of a significant change.
