For Earth Day

 

"Our Mother of the growing fields,
'O our Mother of the streams, will have pity upon us.
For whom do we belong?
Whose seeds are we?
To our Mother alone do we belong."

Kagaba Prayer

Only one thought.

Only one Mother.

Only one single word reaches upwards.

Only one single trail leads heavenward.

skími alúna hangu ité.

iskími hába guaselgukú hangu ité.

iskími mulyigába nici gataugénka.

iskími hiúngulda guxa nici naugénka.

Kogi Prayer

 

"Our Mother of the growing fields,

'O our Mother of the streams, will have pity upon us.

For whom do we belong?

Whose seeds are we?

To our Mother alone do we belong."
