eat rice have faith in women
what I don’t know now I can still learn
if i am alone now I will be with them later
if I am weak now I can become strong
slowly slowly if I can learn I can teach others
if others learn first they will come back and teach me
they will not go away to the country of their knowledge
slowly we begin giving back what was taken away
our right to the control of our bodies
knowledge of how to fight and build
food that nourishes
medicine that heals
songs that remind us of ourselves
and make us want to keep on with what matters to us
eat rice have faith in women
what I don’t know now I can still learn
slowly slowly I can teach others
if others learn first they will come back and teach me
