Mother of My Nature
Mother Earth
Unconditional love
She will always hold
There is no sin She won’t forgive
Instantly
For She knows
We are all born blind
Into cycles of oppression
Class systems
Institutions
Narratives
Curated to control
Mind
body
spirit
For too long
Mother’s watched
the Rulers vs the People
Our past was written by them
My ancestors—Celts and Slavs
Once were the majority across Europe
Branches of the same old tree
We were not peasants, pagans, or savages
We were sovereign
Long we flourished and defended
Our women were
Seers, storm speakers
Threshold keepers
My mother line—Weavers
Our moon bleeds sacred
Thirteen moon months, fucken obvious
Invasion, taxation, assimilation
Wasn’t our religion
The Roman cross of crucifixion
What a logo
Earth-based cultures
Knew Earth as Mother, ancestor, kin
We her divine extension
Her vessel, her voice
Mother speaks through the body
Our feelings are also hers
The rage, the grief
All holy
She sees us whole
Enduring
Returning
The Book of the Dead is clear
Heavy, hardened hearts are consumed
Heaven is Mother’s womb
She lets us rest, then choose to return
And we do
For our love of humanity is endless
The story of humanity
Impossible resilience
