Be a good ancestor.
Give them strong pockets
and an earth they won’t need
to flee in a rocket.
Be a good ancestor.
Give them sharp tools,
and the boldness to question
the why in the rules.
Be a good ancestor.
Give them wise seeds,
and space to uproot
rituals that don’t fit their needs.
Be a good ancestor.
Give them soft memories,
and a kind, sacred place
to spill all of their teas.
Be a good ancestor.
Give them your courage to borrow
And the knowledge you fought
for their brighter tomorrow.
Be a good ancestor.
