Rainforest
Bathed in the darkness of the canopy,
where few rays of light come through, the foliage dances in the wind.
This sacred ground is scarred from ongoing mutilations,
socially imposed deforestation and ever changing environmental degradation.
After years of silence, she woke from all the torment, abuse and decimation.
"Ya no más!" Enough is enough, or is it?
She rose to her feet that ground her brown coloured skin.
"My legs, my womb, my chest, my arms, and my head are sacred grounds on which trees grow endlessly.
Árboles ricos como ningunos.
This forest can no longer survive with all this destruction.
Mi ser, mi alma y mi vida are not mine if not matured
for I am nothing without my brown coloured skin where the trees grow endlessly.
I am nothing if not a rainforest.
