Black Mother We Love You

Black brothers and sisters I come to tell you about our "AFRICAN QUEEN," the mother of our race, her beauty, her love and compassion. Our African Queen, she was filled with pride and her strong endurance and fortitude. The long dark road she has traveled to ensure the way so that her black race might live and grow.  Look at her face-black gold shining in the night like the sun with all of life's love and true beauty.  She is the daughter they stole from the shores of Africa four hundred  years ago.  She is our "AFRICAN QUEEN & who cross the sea in her body carrying the seed of life of today's black race!!!  She is the mother who worked in the fields bringing in the cotton and corn.  She labored as a slave, beaten for the work that she was too weak to do.  She gave birth to her children that were sold away from her, her man sold too, there was no safe place for our African Queen or her black race.  There was no love or respect given to her there was only death. Four hundred years as a slave, God put a dream of steel; in her soul, mind and heart, now through us her black children we can now stand tall with a voice that can be heard, no longer afraid to speak our mind's as we now walk free black women and men.  The many blessing our "African Oueen" was denied ~ ours  she had nothing back then but a dream that her race live and grow to be free. At night her valley would fill with tears, but her head was always high as she moved about fill with all of her love and black pride!!!  Her road was hot and hard but there was no stopping for her, she is the mother of us all, she is now smiling down on us from heaven, we are her precious dream that she nourished deep in her heart, we are her dream that gave her the strength to keep enduring.  Our African Queen her hopes than, now through us her dark race of today, free and full of black pride we have made her hopes and dreams reality.  So remember our African Queen's pain, her years of heavy sorrow and sweat, we must make of her years a road of love and light for our today's black race.  As we lift up our "Black Queen's" banner from the dust we can now look ahead to a better tomorrow. Now we stand free within ourselves supporting her love and trust and her black pride!!!  She is the mother of us all, the daughter of our tribe, our divine sister ten thousand African Queen's black  we love you.
