(Acrylic on canvas, manipulated into black and white)Phenomenal She Was
She was phenomenal
Phenomenal she was
Gather together in her name
Her innocence taken
Without her consent
Still she managed to rise
Silent by her own accord,
She knew why the caged bird sang
Her voice had to be heard
The heart of a woman
She was phenomenal
Phenomenal she was
Through her finger tips,
Words spewed
Like non poisonous venom
Through joy and pain,
She made those who liked to read
Think
On the big screen
Stage
Books and television
Her voice commanded attention
She was phenomenal
Phenomenal she was
Dancer, director, poet, actress,
Teacher, activist, artist
Quietly she passed.
She was phenomenal
Phenomenal she passed.
