Reparation Climates
Come by here, Lord,
Kum ba 'eah;
Come by here, Land,
Kum ba yeah;
Come by here, Love,
Kum ba yah;
Oh, EarthSoul Mama,
come by here!
Someone's singin'
Someone's swingin'
Someone's in pain
Someone's dyin'
Someone's laughin'
while Someone's weepin'
Someone's prayin', LandedLady,
Kum ba here.
Each of us contains
a therapeutic difference
Between bad news trauma
from suffering and pain
untimely lost,
Amid degenerating chronic loss
of resilient healthy prospects
Someone's coming, Land
with aging bones,
with deep Earth longing
to appreciate this difference
Between ego and eco-fragmentation
despair of timeless souls,
capitalization
commodification
buying and selling out
positive regenerating hope
for negative ungenerously depraved profits.
Come by here, EarthBodies
of wisdom to re-attach repairing climates
with vulnerably resonant messages,
re-memories of Earth's detritional enslavement,
of apartheid bought
and sold embodied souls
From non-elite historic elders past
prayin' for reparations
restoring youngsters health wealth futures,
Home safe journeys, Earth reparations
kum ba here.
