letra de bring back our girls - tenesha the wordsmith

bring back our girls
bring back our beautiful little girls who dig in the dirt for worms
and climb trees
and play dolls
and pretend to be mommies
and play with cars
and laugh and giggle
bring back our daughters
bring back handclap games
double dutch
and hopscotch
bring back dancing for the grown folks
in the living room
bring back the mystery of s-x
bring back innocence
tell her
its ok if when you dance your skirt twirls high in the air
tell her to show off the pattern on her panties
tell her that her body is governed by her own mind
not governing bodies of men
bring back our nigerian princesses
tell them
i think of them while walking to my own personalized source of energy
water
wealth
earth’s blood
we bleed needlessly
bring back the four little girls k!lled in a church bombing
bring back the women stoned in the middle east
bring back the defiance of adolescence
that grows into the wisdom of adulthood
tell them to come home
tell them that they will be safe
tell them that they can be their own salvation
or
we can save each other
let them know that the scripture itself is the original sin
bow down
and honor the woman
who somewhere in africa
walks up a hill
balancing fifty pounds of beans on her head
by the little girl who stands screaming
in a pool of her family’s blood
call the name of the thirteen year old girl
who wears tight jeans
and aspires to be as dope as nicki minaj
who all the men stare at
who secretly wishes she could be her daddy’s little girl
call her name
tell her that she is no m-ss-produced barbie
she is muse
shaquilla my queen
bonita applebum
motivation
mustard seed fate
warrior goddess
survivalist
call her
tell her to come as she is
cause she is already enough
