@Str8UpFabGeekStar...she certainly did intend it for ALL women, and I do think you're right that too many women who are not black don't feel it's for them...at least the silly ones who can't see that we're all connected.
Thank you Maya Angelou, for writing this wonderful poem, yes I agree I exist because of the wonderful women you mention in your poem. Islandbreed01 fantastic job, neat slides, beautiful open ocean as a background, you could not have done this better. Thank you for making this and posting this on You Tube.
I sure hope it wasn't a womyn who decided NOT TO LIKE such a beautiful description of a Womyn in this Poem and if it's 39 females who don't you have a right to your opinion, but I think you are still in search of. Good Luck with that! Simply Ms. Ice Cream A Phenominal Womyn I am.
Really beautiful. The first time I heard this wonderful woman it was in the movie "Madea's family reunion" I felt a force wrap myself. The power of words is huge , bad words can do much damage and one word can support you until the end of your life.
Wow those words can be really taken into one's heart because as a women the less that one tries to impress the more attention one gets because of Maya's word take everyone who has ever love you with you and show the best of yourself 😕
Everyone should check out Seth Troxler's undeniably sexy deep house edit of this of this poem titled "Aphrika". The rolling groove really enhances the context of the poem rawwwwrrr!!
The ordinary conditioned soul(98% of us) who are male are captivated by the beauty of a woman. Therefore, everyone who is seeking a spiritual life style is advised that one should not freely mix even with one's daughter, or with his mother, or with his sister, because the lustful animal senses imbeded in us for centuries are so strong that when 1 becomes infatuated, the senses do not even consider the relationship of being a daughter, mother or sister. It is best then to practice controlling the senses by some form of spiritual discipline or some form of yoga practice to raise ourselves up from the Human ANIMAL mentality(that we all evolved from) to our HIGHER spiritual self ,which we is what we TRULY are deep within our soul and what we are hopefully trying to re-connect with here now on Earth...to overcome Cupid , or LUST is probably the hardest to do in this crazy World of MAYA(illusion) were living in... The attraction of maya in form of a beautiful woman is VERY powerful and is one of the main reasons we are STUCK here on Earth on the perpetual wheel of reincarnation.....interesting that the poets name was Maya...because a beautiful woman is the very imbodiment of MAYA....be careful...pretty rare that a beautiful woman has an equally beautiful soul also..if you find 1..your a very lucky man....
God Bless You Thank You 🙏 Maya She Kind, Sweet Love ❤️ And Beautiful Wonderful bold I Am Child Of God I Am Loved You Are Not Alone God And Jesus is with you don’t be afraid fear not there no fear in love it’s Going To Be Okay no worries We Are The church I Love 💕 To Pray
