Bosom Buddies

Breast cancer
you have caused me to fight and flight
Breast cancer
you clouded my vision with your venom
Breast cancer
you have turned me from hero to zero
Breast cancer
you took away my courage
and gave me confusion

But now no more, no more
The Bosom Buddies
chuchumakgala stopped and picked me up

Bosom Buddies understands
a silent cry of a woman in distress
and cries with her
Bosom Buddies knows
how to use her smile and charm
with a frightened husband or child
Bosom Buddies
has been through thick and thin
and walked back again
the same route with a friend
who needs her

Now I have a vision
Now I am a hero
Now I am courageous
Now I am not afraid
I HAVE CONQUERED
NOW I AM A VICTOR

We are Africans, and we are achievers.

We are daughters, sisters, mothers and aunts.
We are doctors, lawyers, teachers, writers and entrepreneurs
We are Africans and we are achievers.
 
We are jet black, blue black,
dark brown, brown skinned, medium brown,
light skinned, fair skinned, light, bright almost
white but Africans to the bone.
We are Africans, we are achievers.
 
We have been hassled and discouraged
We have made it past breast cancer
We are survivors, over comers, those who have endured
We know a setback is a setup for a comeback
We have survived and now handle miracles by appointment only.
We are Africans and we are achievers.
