Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
Woman and Man
Woman in travail
Bulging with the unborn,
Leaden with waiting,
What can man give
Worthy of your pain?
Shall he, too, feel future nations
Stirring within him,
His manhood withheld
Until he know equivalent pain,
Gushing forth in blood and tears?
Written by Pauli Murray (1910-1985)
