The
First Supper
My sister Native American-I reach
out to you,
For yours is the way of respect for the earth.
My sister Africa,
you I embrace,
For yours is a compassionate race.
My sister Asia,
I look deep in your eyes,
Let us be strong together.
Yes, Sisters, Chicano, Latino,
Muslim and Jew,
I am white and I am woman
And I am tired of watching for centuries,
While my husbands sons and fathers
Steal and pillage,
Here, I give back what I can,
It is not too late for us to make a new world together.
