We are travelers on one spinning shore, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carved from clay by the same unseen hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No crown was placed on skin or shade <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We rise and fall on equal land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They drew false borders in the mind, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With chains of thought and lines of hate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet truth outlives the maps of man <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love never needed to segregate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A darker hue, a lighter tone, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are merely echoes of the sun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pigment in our outward shell <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hides hearts that beat as only one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colonial ghosts still haunt today, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In silent laws and subtle speech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But justice is the louder wind <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That wakes the roots and dares to teach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From kente threads to Baobab roots, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let unity be what we weave and grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each voice a drum, each hand a spark\u2014 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We must ubuntu the world we know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speak truth in circles, heal in song, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let Sankofa guide the path we tread <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For justice blooms when we return <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To lift all souls where hate once spread. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
