Amazon Queen Poem by Albert Price

Across the starlit Milky Way,

Roll the golden chariots of the Amazons.

With full war regalia on display,

They sweep across the celestial zones.

Amid great pomp and warrior’s zeal,

Ann Zingha cruises in the silver cloud.

Triumphant, she is, on the battlefield,

Keeping Matamba pretty and proud.

On either side of the river’s bank,

Concealed in cornfields caressing the sky,

One finds the strength of Nzingha’s flank,

As summer’s breeze creeps softly by.

Her shapely ankles beautiful and brown,

Carries her victoriously back to town.
