Diaspora Song

by The Piercing Tongue

          Brown…

Brown and tender…

Brown tender and sweet…

Brown tender sweet and cool…

Brown tender sweet and cool breezes

brush my face when you are near

Honey brown breeze that sings songs of the Diaspora

Gasping…

Breathing air into my tired lungs

Whispering sweet brown melodies

And cool harmonic winds shift to your rifts

You are brown…

Brown because that was God’s first choice

And cool is the breeze when my creator whispers in my ear

God whispers to me

Brown

Tender

Sweet

Cool breezes that brush my face and sings to me…

Songs of the Diaspora

You are the song of the Diaspora

And we listen

We listen

Waiting for your song to take us home

And carry the melody

For the journey is long

You are the song

The song of the Diaspora

The song that we wait for so patiently

That…

Brown…

Tender…

Sweet…

Cool…

Song…

Black woman sing the Diaspora home
