I desire so much for you my queen
I desire to see you grow
To see you prosper
To see you bring forth with an inexplicable joy
I desire justice for you
I desire forgiveness from you
God saw it fit to birth me from your waters
God saw it fit to weave you into the very fabric of my DNA
Yet I looked back at you in shame,
Yet I sought to forget you
I aborted you from my spirit
Not knowing you may not be the sum of my parts but you are a fraction of them still
I could blame the blood thirsty leeches that control your wealth, control your resources
Would I be wrong? I couldn’t be wrong
I could blame the holy men who have defiled the words of the one, who created you for gain,
Would I be wrong? I wouldn’t be wrong
But I am also blemished
Blissfully ignorant of my own ills
I cannot wash away the rich brown tones that your sun has bestowed upon my skin
I cannot free my conscience because you are part of me
Like a mother to a child
So I will fall on my knees
I will lift up my eyes
I will not be silent
For one day
I too wish not to mourn over my sisters, not to mourn over our brothers
But to raise a song of glad tidings
For peace to someday come
This is so beautiful ❤
