If you have a song to sing, who are you not to open your mouth and sing to the world?

Being a woman is hard work.
Maya Angelou
Depending on who I am talking about or who's talking through me - if the person is a kind of hip-hop, or rhythm and blues person, or if the person is a kind of old-fashion gothic, meaning gothic attitude, then that will determine what form the poem will take.
Maya Angelou
The honorary duty of a human being is to love.
Maya Angelou
