Protected
By Zadi Maynard
My life is covered.
By the sacred blood.
The blood of sufferings
both told and untold
That of triumphs both succinct and bold.
Blood blood blood a sacred blood.
Seeping from the veins of Afrika
Boiling through the salty seas
And fertilizing
our disparate soils.
My life is covered by the sacred blood
of my Sisters.
My Sisters sweet blood
My Sisters warrior blood
My Sisters birthing blood
My Sisters menstrual blood
The Blood of life. The Blood of Our Lives.
Flows everyday from millenia.
Nourishes me.
Blesses me. My life remains protected.
Oh Yes.
Our Blood. Is Eternal.
