Maya Angelou: You Will Remain Phenomenal Poem by Dr. Ahmed Gumaa Siddiek

Maya Angelou, you are original
Exceptional,
So, you are phenomenal

Because you cannot hide,
that beautiful smile on your face
And you cannot hide your perfume
That fills all the space
And travels hundreds of miles
Because it is all original
So you are exceptional

You are phenomenal
Because of your style
The way you talk,
the fashionable way you walk,
an arrogant she-peacock
So men cannot help but to gaze and look
gaze and look, and Still, still
They will never be able to tell
Why you are so phenomenal

And Ladies, too
would continue to wonder
Why you are so phenomenal
Because they do not see
How you are so cute
And how fashionable you look
In your stylish suit
And how graceful is your foot
In your graceful boot

Ladies also do not see
the span of your hips
And the pearls uttered from your curled lips
Because you are so original
So you are phenomenal

And no wonder that men
Do not realize how you're so cool
When you get into their rooms
Like the mistress in the school
So they all
Suddenly fall,
Down on their knees
And swing about you like honey bees
Because you are the loveliest flower
That had ever trodden their floor

Men adore the beauty of your eyes
in fact they adore the secrets in your eyes
Where you hide seven hundred of skies
So let them fall down like butterflies
To kiss your feet
And let them die when you dance and shake your waist

Because you are exceptional
So you are phenomenal
But still men do not see
the mystery in you
they are blind or pretend to be so
They are not smart enough,
In fact they are stupid, too
To see beyond their physical mind
Yes, they are simply deaf & blind

But they can see now why you are so proud
Because they have just come to understand
Why your head is always upward
And why you behave like a lord
Because your are beautiful smart and slim
And decisive like a sword

They have just known
Why you don't shout
or jump about
Although you can all afford

Maya,
Because you are so exceptional
You will always remain phenomenal
And you will remain phenomenal
Because you are simply, smart and proud
And the most beautiful among the whole crowd
