The coast is not clear here
Brown bodies burn here
You eat the other,
Your journey into the East
A violent feast
Reconciliation is not consumption

Pulsate

Oral history persists, survives
Your science cannot disprove us
Our blood is resistance
Our hearts pulsate in time with the Sun

Immorality embedded in policy
Injustice weaved into the fabric of democracy
There is no liberty here
A plight for freedom is no reason for torture
Offshore
Unsure
With nothing left
But a plea for rain

Golden

Poisoned dirt dropped into golden hands that once held the Earth up
There is a forest fire
blazing through my land
No one seems to see
streams of oil
drowning the villages

Gaze

My rage entertains you
My brown body splayed
for your white gaze
You will never own me

Radiance

Melanin,
golden radiance
entwines with the land
To preserve
Our fury

Ancestral

Trauma lives inside my blood
Trauma keeps haunting me
When she sleeps, I imagine how I’ll gift a defiant heart
Ancestral strength
The Earth will guide you
The skies will move you
Tanah air menjaga kamu
