BahiyaFrom my own study of the question, the colored woman

deserves greater credit for what she has done and is doing than

blame for what she cannot so soon overcome. ~~~Fannie Barrier Williams

Women of Egypt and Libya

Drink her tears from the River Nile

You will gain courage and bravery

Women of Congo and Liberia

Drink her tears from River Congo

You will shed inferiority

Women of Zambia and Zimbabwe

Drink her tears from River Zambezi

You will gain understanding

Women of South and West Africa

Drink her tears from River Limpopo

You shall see liberation

~~~Gcina Mhlope, South African poet
