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.
