Now the world is our body
not made up of one country
but of many
some parts wrestle:
big fists
bulging arms swinging
in a war
to
conquer
one more piece
of itself
others sway:
dancing hips
singing lips
Life in the blood
Heart Mother
teaches her children,
remember:
those parts of the world
that seem to be weaker
are
indispensable.
Fist,
open and extend
strength to the frail.
Foot,
move to respond
stand with the hurting.
Arm, stretch out
your muscled strength
to
give.
