nightmare
awakens me
breathing hard
heart thunders in my chest
i turn my back
on the Western night
and touch
my forehead
to the ground
praying intensely
for my God to deliver me
and bless me with strength
to rally for my sisters
and brothers
in captivity
held under threat of
death and destruction
stolen from their loved ones
birth names denied
Ya Rabb
hear my cry
