| Introduction | I represent the oppressed conscious black woman Who has all of her eyes open to see the world But yet only inhabits 6 square blocks of the concrete jungle. She sits at night with her seeds reworking homework lessons Of Christmas, Columbus and colonization. She transforms the three R’s into righteous revolutionary rebellion. Sometimes, I am allowed to sit in and participate in all of their lives. Sometimes, the door is shut either angrily or in the silence of defeat. Either way, I am still a poet and my pen represents the oppressed. |
