Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Maya Angelou. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hello, I'm Maya Angelou. LAUGHTER And today I will recite a poem that I wrote with my girlfriend Oprah in mind. It talks about the unity and love that we should all share for one another. And it's called Where Is The Love? Excuse me, Miss Angelou. Yes, what is it, Angel? A business affair doesn't have your check. They don't have my check. No. Oh, really? It seems I will be reciting a different poem today. And this one is called Bits Better Have My Mother. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Like the blood pressure on an old black woman, she is eating pork all her life. Still, I rise. LAUGHTER Like a 12-year-old boy going through puberty in the morning. Still, I rise. I am the hope of the slave, and I don't work for free. Somebody better find my damn check. Or you will see a phenomenal woman kick ass for night in the morning. Bits Better Have My Money By The Time I Leave This Stage. I gots to get my check. Or you will meet Maya's rage. God bless you, may heaven smile upon you, but right now I got some ass to kick. Somebody gonna give me my check. I don't fool you.
