War Cry
I want to scream
The kind of scream that purges
Every ounce of pain in me.
I boiled with the muthokoi,
Suffocated in its steam.
My salty tears gave the food its flavour.
God breaks me
With mercy but no mercy.
I won’t let go till He blesses me,
Gives me a new name.
I am beloved daughter,
Carrying a shield.
Vincible invincibility,
I face the armies!
My war cry is a scream that purges
Every ounce of fear in me.
