My Mother

Though the world I couldn't see
The embrace

I first drank, 'twas mine mother's

My mother
Mothers of my other playmates and barmates
Divine design of the eternal
Mother of hunters and pearl divers
Scholars and peasants
Presidents and queens

Inoyoa! Inoyoa!
Be at ease
When prices soar
When democracy ignores you
When injustice in inflicted
When you are sick
When you need me
I'll be there
Under your arms
Returning the
Embrace

Warmth
Love and
Milk

That i first drank, 'twas yours
That brightened mine eyes
To meet my other
Blue
Yellow
Red
Black and white
Sisters brothers of the other side

Inoya
Penning off
I remain
Your son forever
