Prayer stronger than metal
moves us to dance defiance:
we will not be still as they spill blood and oil
in our water and soil
Hope hotter than flame
ignites our pain:
trauma truth becomes real again
as it's channeled to light
transcending night through fight
Love vital as water
gives peace to our power:
flowing from long-gone grandmothers and fathers
through us to the waiting grandsons and daughters,
we provide these bodies, these lives
so the water of life may thrive
