SISTERHOOD

Sacred Sisters from Ethiopia

banished and branded
stolen and stranded
shackled and enslaved
starved and depraved
yet Her Life refused the grave
Her Spirit lifts every Ocean wave.
Sacred Sisters on the Sun rising
Sacred Sisters of the Moon tides
Sacred Sisters of Midnights womb
Sacred Sisters of Morning in bloom.
Don't write our Sister cousins off
Transformative, Earth be warned that if
Mother Africa's Daughters rise again
Sing a simple song of freedoms refrain.
Honour our Sister cousins this divine day
Sacred Sisters of Ethiopa's Heart we pray.
Sacredly bind us. Sacredly gather us.
Sacredly unify us. In Sacred Oneness.
We Know Life will Re Grow
Singing up Hope into Flow
You didn't know, that you
didn't know and so it goes.
Sun rises and Moon's glow
Pregnant tides transform
New Days Dawn
Sister cousins are born
into a miracle lit Storm.
Welcome Sister cousins
Welcome the unborn
Welcome.   by Mereana Taki
