Hear the Call

They were lost and came to us seeking help, They saw us in our nakedness, our innocence connected to the earth and all around us. We the Islanders knew not of Sin, they offered to save us from this Sin and told us to practice 10 laws, laws that were already our way of life.. we thought they were earthkeepers like us.
Then they broke their own laws and took our sacred ways from our children, cut their hair and covered 

their beauty.

If we had heard the stories of their earth that was made in 7 days, of the serpent that told them to eat from a tree that resulted in them covering their nakedness.

We would have known they were the serpent and the fruit was their lies.
We would have known not to trust the white man in clothes, separated from the rays of the sun and the soil of mother earth.
We would have known to guard with our lives our ways, stories and customs.
In 1492 The serpent came to our island spreading lies after they were forced from their eden.
They told our children their stories and songs are evil ...
They told our children they were not from the Islands...
They told our children they were born with sin...
But we the Ancestors are here with you and within you...
We never left ..
HEAR THE CALL TO RISE ..
OCAMA OCAMA GUARIBO...
