To be history personified…

To be history personified
You must be sad globally
You must spirit children in your arms
You must nurture the old
And the sadness you feel
Should be productive
Meanwhile lean above
The shoulders
Of women writing history
The sadness is like a bell
Like living inside a bell
Sweet god
Its the bell itself
Auntie History rings it
And rings it
