Hope Is Not A Feeling

There is blood on my white hands that goes way back before me
There is blood on my white hands for silence up in front of me
Blood on my hands for the fear that chose complicity
In the name of comfort
bloody are my hands
There is blood on my white hands
Part of a wider toxicity
And I need healing too, as I can see I did this all to me
myself and yourself too I stole the land you shared for free
in the name of freedom
bloody are my hands.
in the street, the court the pulpit
In the prison, in the classroom, kitchen,
in my home, the subdivisions
In the chambers, In the hill and in the high and In the low,
in the walls we burn and Bridges we throw
Your liberation
is my liberation
Hope is not a feeling.
Hope is not a feeling
Hope is not a feeling
Build a wall and burn a bridge
build a bridge and burn a wall
build a wall and burn a bridge
build a bridge and burn a wall
first the grave and then the womb
first the grave and then the womb
first the grave and then the womb
Tirelessly I’ll fight for you
Tirelessly I’ll fight with you

One Too Many Times

How do I awaken the mother in me?
How do I hold you unconditionally
If only out of the things we share
For no other reason than similar blood
And similar home?
Is this a prayer?
Will I try to listen, even if I think I am wiser?
Even if you silence me or worse
Throw me across the kitchen when we disagreed
And break my fucking heart?
Will I try to understand
That we cannot completely understand?
Is the trying the prayer?
Is the trying the other cheek?
How do I awaken the mother in me
And tell you sweet in low tones
That the road you took went hellish
And you hit and ran my house.
But tell you this in kindness
after I cook you dinner
And hold your hand across the table
Because I need to believe you are larger
Than the malice you manifested
And if I see hate in you
One too many times
Let me not dismiss you without tears
Is fear the enemy
Or you
