United Sisterhood

"A nation is not conquered until the hearts of its women are on the ground. Then it is finished no matter how brave its warriors or how strong their weapons." 
(Tsistsistas, Cheyenne)

United Sisterhood 

I am woman, no accident of birth;
A brave warrior for Mother Earth.
My mission in this time is very clear;
I say to my sisters, show no fear!

In a time when the planet is unsound;
Our hearts are not laying on the ground.
We unite as Sisters proudly;
Raise our voices for all to hear loudly.

We are not conquered, we know not defeat;
Together, united, we can not be beat.
By those who destroys and slaughters;
For we are our Great Mother's daughters.

It is not finished, we are not through;
We still have much work to do.
All across these ancient lands;
Women are gathering and joining hands.

As it should be...each of us has a vital part to play in Gaia's healing...a well penned message.
