Ode to Maya Angelou
March 31, 2014
an actress
a poet
a writer
an influential woman
who could rally the children
with words like her
who could tell us to stand
with expert phrases like her
when the people felt hopeless
she told them to unite
against their oppressors
and those that wanted them to hurt
when the people waited
for court to settle upon them
she told the to be strong
as a unit, not alone
she’s worked with the best
and the best hope to meet her
she’s conquered the media
and we gladly accept
an actress
a poet
a writer
a hero
