Roots
We will not apologize
for embracing our culture
and acknowledging our history.
We are our ancestors' dream.
Our capability to accept
The uniqueness of our roots
Prevents us from self-loathing
And allows us to understand
How your differences from us
Can add value to our
Season of becoming.
Only then can our
Resilient spirit
Finally emerge
Not by pride, nor by might
But in our capacity
To love one another fully.
