She Leads the WayThe mother of the universe
Is a caramel colored sister
With skin as dark as midnight
And as golden as the morning sun
With olive hues painted with flecks
Of every color of your dreams
She inspires many with her beauty
While she enrages others with her strength

Some will argue that humanity
Did not rise from her fertile crescent
That everything we are could not begin
With the person they chose to demonize
Brutalize and isolate forcing her to work
While those who hate her rested and rode
To clean for those who should crawl before her
As she finishes last in a beauty pageant she won long ago

Like all good mothers she knows her child
And she loves us all despite our sins
She forgives those who choose to do wrong over right
While raising the offspring of those who raped her
Giving birth to planets and galaxies
Teaching us to sing and dance and follow our dreams
Healing her sons and daughters who will listen
She still leads the way
