My Mothers

My mothers Born of mothers Unto mothers They asked me who my role models were Who do you channel? Who taught you to speak, To think, To walk, This way? They did. My mothers. Born of mothers Unto mothers Who taught you revolution? They did. My mothers Born of mothers Unto mothers Standing, marching, holding Relentless in their passions Devout in their actions Unwavering in their strength In awe I remain In solidarity I stand In time I learn In their love I thrive.
