Title: Strange Angels

I'm not scared of snakes, scorpions and Lions, they are easy to tame.
But be weary of strange angels who come with poisonous smiles.
Ready to bury at the slightest chance.
My angel! My nightmare!

You defend me in my presence but tear me
apart in my absence.
My friend, My sister, you call yourself.
Yet you stand and watch me burn in the fire which you created.
Hypocrites, You are my Nightmare.

I keep your secrets, mine becomes a national anthem.
Oh sister! I cheer at your victory song
You gloat at mine.
I watch your back but you stabbed mine.
indeed! the enemy of a black is a black woman.
