 into the rivers and rhythms of my homeland

Sister Mary McLeod Bethune

By Afrika M.A. Abney

I fight for rights to be free and supreme

rights to save brothers and sisters and bathe them 

         into the rivers and rhythms of my homeland

uplifting mind and soul to the higher grounds of building and planting seeds

for binding the rules and setting the platforms with scriptures 

          of building a spiritual revolution

filled with unity in diversity and humanity.
