We float in the cosmos with Amun-Ra
Buoyed by the wisdom of our ancestors
Guiding us towards the many fragments
Of stories left behind
Helping reconstruct our memories
After the hemorrhaging by maafa
And the generations of PTSD

We float in the cosmos with Amun-Ra
Anchored by our connection to the divine
Yet some of us still look for ourselves
In the broken mirrors of scripture
Shoved down our throats
As we screamed and wailed for salvation
To the very gods who have always forsaken us
Who will continue to forsake us
Because we were never made for them
And they were never meant for us

We float in the cosmos with Amun-Ra
With Yemoja
With Nyabinghi
With Asaase Yaa
Retelling our stories
Restoring our greatness
Realigning our chakras
Reimagining our future
Retracing our steps
Reclaiming our time
