Every drop of blood--

Every drop of blood ---


With every drop of blood shed,
be it from the black or white skin,
or red Indian or mixed race,
what is spilt is not the vegetation
consumed by or the animal flesh
raw or cooked, pounded or fried
fish or chicken assimilated into
colored essence or what we call blood,
with every drop of blood shed is
the milk of mother’s cared affection,
flowing into thews and sinews
carrying the ancestral heritage.
