Christina Simmons Poems

Though you try your very hardest to break my morale
I will keep on standing: fight till the bitter end
My desire is to protect myself respect, remaining as dignify as you
Cannot buckle down - this is a mission must completed
...

Great mother earth the woman who suffered giving birth to me
It was not an easy task to bore: labour wasn't without toil but you
Persevere eventually brought forth into the world - introduced me to this vast open Atmosphere; present when I took my first step - with a struggle and a smile I did it
Oh, mama-mama-mama-mama-ma.....
...

Baby girl have no fear: see it as another challenge:
Another obstacle another hurdle to jump over:
Have no fear cause you're going to pull through
We're keeping watch, baby girl! Without stopping
...

Fallen out of love with the whole wide world
Everyone's an enemy, humanity is all against me
Arms are up in the air, totally surrender!
Can't think straight, not able to gather thoughts
...

Is London now the new milk and honey?
How long will we stand aside and watch while
Africa is slowly suffocated and killed
The sweet land that once were is no longer
...

You stripped me naked, robbed of everything!
My smile, laughter, the ability to give safe hugs
My joy of life!
...

Pain and torment a form of torture
A mothers' love is never ending it continues
till everlasting.
...

What's the colour black?
I hear you ask
It's a colour! I hear you say
It's you! It's me!
...

Some friends are very envious
Some friends want to be in your shoes
Want what you have, they visualise cushiness
...

Born of my mother's womb; always will
be my number 1 woman and no other
Because of this fact I have been intuitively blessed
Emotional from my very first cry - when I wailed
...
