“Born of Warriors” Original Poetry to encourage parents during this time of heightened racism. Rise up from a place of strength and have faith that the lives lost will not be in vain. #blacklivesmatter #bornofwarriors
Born of Warriors
Now is not the time to sit down and grow weary
For we are born of warriors
Trained on soil rich with the spirits that passed before us
We were selected from our tribe and trained for battle
Even stripped of our land, our riches and our families
We stood strong ushering the chained weary in front of us
Walking miles to the beach to meet our battle with the sea
Some were not strong enough to endure the nausea swaying beneath our ribs
Diseased corpses laying by, vicious attacks of salt water on open wounds
Watching the constant raping of wombs and deep screams of torment
Many were not trained for this battle and vanished into the sea at night for comfort
They were not capable of taking the journey so they took their own lives instead
But we did not
We are born of warriors
