The Women of my Country ~ (Suriname)

Black_women

The women of my country

Are made out of brown sugar

Honey and gold

Cooked with patience

At low temperatures

Topped with a sniff

Of black pepper and cinnamon

Or curry, if you please

To be served hot

And consumed with love

Extinguish

With an ice-cold glass

Of Borgoe rum or Parbo beer
