As Was Proclaimed By The Supremes Poem by Sarah Mkhonza

That you would enter the stage
In platforms was proclaimed by
The supremes. They said you would
Be a woman of action and always
On the move. That you would be the
Leader of the band was determined equally
By the supremes for they could see
Way beyond the now. Learn to live up
To this prophecy for it comes once
And only to those who need it.

Embrace it with both hands
For once you let it go it will
Be hard to get it back.

I know a person who let
It go and lived to regret it.
All his life for had to live
Jumping in and out of a hot
Frying pan held in two hands
Not his own.
