Big Momma on Pain

Omens of a Southern buxom woman

By Queen NubianPublished 3 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

"Pain is inevitable, Baby.." Big Momma would say to me,

"Cuz in a world without it chile', how pleasing could pleasure ever be?"

Speaking broken English to this day, & with no education beyond 2nd grade.

Born on a cotton plantation; the Great grand-daughter to actual slaves.

Big Momma's riddles have still proven to be, all the life advice I'd ever need.

About the Creator

Queen Nubian

My word is my sword. In a world deprived of love; teeming with war, every utterance must serve a purpose, & bend towards righteous accord.

"Keep your feet on the ground & your thoughts at lofty heights".
