WHO TO CALL UPON

Who to call upon sister

Who to call upon when
The world treats me like an
Outcast lost in prison of
Black veils
Who to call upon head wrapped tight
In turbines my dignity
Oppressed by servitude to ungratefulness
Who to call upon
When nine months of my glory
I’m made to feel cheep
Convinced of my ugliness
Who to call upon when
My humbleness reflects their
Stupidity giving them reason and cause to oppress
And drain my spirit
Who to call upon
When powers I posses are foreign to my strength
Who to call upon
Mother?
