Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Madam C. J. Walker

Madam C. J. Walker, that's me.
Born of slaves in a cotton field.
By the 20th century,
My success skills I did wield.
Because I was losing my hair,
I developed products that made
Me healthy and a millionaire -
The first woman of any shade
To make such money on my own.
The Rockefellers lived next door.
I did not hoard my wealth alone,
But shared it with the young and poor.

I showed my daughter self esteem.
A black woman can live her dream.
