Maya Angelou, de son vrai nom Marguerite Johnson[1], est une poétesse, écrivain, actrice et militante afro-américaine née le 4 avril 1928 à Saint-Louis, Missouri (États-Unis). Elle est une figure importante du mouvement américain pour les droits civiques. Elle est devenue une figure emblématique de la vie artistique et politique outre-Atlantique où ses livres sont au programme des écoles.

En 1993, Maya Angelou a lu son poème On the Pulse of Morning à la demande de Bill Clinton lors de son discours inaugural.

Sur l'impulsion du matin


Un rocher, une rivière, un arbre
Hôtes de l'espèce depuis longtemps quitté,
Mark le mastodonte.
Les dinosaures, qui ont quitté les jetons à sec
De leur séjour ici
Sur notre planète étage,
Toute alarme large de leur de leur malheur hâter
Se perd dans les ténèbres de la poussière et les âges.

Mais aujourd'hui, le Rock nous crie, clairement, avec force,
Venez, vous pouvez tenir sur mes
Retour et face à votre destin lointain,
Mais cherchez pas de refuge dans mon ombre.
Je vais vous donner aucune cachette ici.

Vous, créé seulement un peu plus bas que
Les anges, ont accroupi trop longtemps dans
L'obscurité des ecchymoses,
Avez-lain trop longtemps
Face à l'ignorance.
Votre bouche orthographe des mots
Armées à l'abattage....

Maya Angelou has a unique and profound poems that moves every generations.

One of my favorit which makes my day is "Still I Rise":


You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
