Songs of Longing - Mother’s Words

The Great Mother, Mother Earth

She gave me a blade

She bade me to use it to

Help love liberate

To help love to liberate

The children so pure

And teach all to do the same

On through the future

———

I gathered my people ‘round

And said we must fight

If they push we must push back

Until all’s alight

We can make a universe

Where The Mother wins

Where those who would slander Her

Find no place within

———

And we made a siblinghood

Of outlaws so kind

To fight for a better life

To help love unbind

To help love unbind the chains

To stand by hurt love

To water love’s sacred truth

That we must speak of

———

The struggle will still extend

Long after I die

My comrades who will be born

Like me, they will try

One day no child will be faced

With a destiny

That is cruel or is harsh

The Mother told me
