Image for the poem Born of Woman

Born of Woman

To be born of woman is shared by all
the commonality is God’s resolve
still the opinions may disagree
about the nature of rough pedigree

the favored moms are acknowledged
to be ugly in all their charm
this is a lie that’s recognized
when favoritism is thus applied

opponent’s progenitors are decried
‘yo mama’ is the battle cry
sitting around the entire house
when large becomes too much

neither view has honesty
mothers are both good and bad
to state otherwise is Satan’s lie
abusing truth in mama’s life.
