I walk for you my Sisters.
I walk through burning coals,
with brave feet and tender heart,
confronting a Rage and Fear i cannot name.
I walk for injustice.
harassment.
violence.
I walk for the Mothers,
the sacrifices, the struggle.
I walk for the Daughters,
destinies claimed by vulture over ghettos.
I walk for the Grandmothers,
hands held out on dirty streets.
I walk for the Prostitutes,
trading sex for survival.
I walk for all the Sisters,
who have held terror close to their hearts,
whose screams have echoed unheard,
whose will was stripped away in dark corners,
whose pride and humility was lost in malicious laughter
I walk for you my Sisters.
I walk through burning coals,
with my head high and my heart open,
I walk in solidarity with you,
embracing you with each burning step,
releasing this Fear with empathetic tears,
feeding this Rage to a willing fire,
my prayers for you rising to the heavens with the smoke.
I walk for you my Sisters.
