We are wombyn
We are one with each other
We are one with the earth
Our tierra madre
We are born to a universal womb
The umbilical cord of
stars and galaxies
is attached to our belly buttons
when our hearts first beat
it beats as one
can you feel it?
The moon guides our fertility cycle
The ocean heals our broken bones
The sun gives us our creativity
And the dirt feeds our babies
With riquezas de frutas y vegetales
Maíz, frijol, granada
We are one
Our tierra madre
Can you see her?
She is crying
When it rains
She is dying
When there's flames
on her greens
right now, our cycle is broken
its dry and hot in January
the flowers stop blooming
in may
because there were no
april showers
it snows in august
how could this happen?
No one hears our mother cry
As they silently but violently
Rape her with skyscrapers
Roads, bridges, cars, planes
Sweatshops, maquiladoras
Every night, she hurts
Every day, we do nothing
Our mother is silently crying
Our mother is silently fighting
Our mother is silently dying
What are we doing
To defend her?
