AfroPoets Famous Writers

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


So is Envy.

Upon their return to their village home,
A circle of women gazed and praised
Perfect Happiness.
They called tough Sojourner a good mother,
Kind and true, persistent as Elmer's Glue.

Another wife,
Another mother, raged inside.

You can't
put such Envy in a cage.
It bends bars.
It must be satisfied.
