Mama Merita & Sister Sahara
Resurrection Of Different Love
by Nsamanfo through Usekhu
The stellar sphere is changing the observer
Nkosi and Kandake honor wisdom's contours
Immensity and intricacy magnify my spirit's fervor
Unlike Herodotus and Johnnies, I sense more to see
Beyond Sahara and beyond Monomotapa
I'm expanding, longing for you to advantage me
In the complement of plenty I once shared
Found within cultivated corridors of diversity
Your moods cradle, still draw me into learning
I'm becoming re-accustomed to your personality
And our 3 million year old Nubian relative Lucy
You and her, Queen Mothers to Queenma Eve
I am one in a modern procession of billions
Eve's hips spilled within shores and finally over seas
Starting 130,000 years before your northern sector
Changed from succulence to Sahara's sandy texture
Most of the planet was many degrees colder
Going through several non-vibrant Ice Ages
And the chill from the eruption of Mt. Toba
Then came a very hospitable temperature range
8,000 years ago a complex culture evolved
Before climate and living conditions changed
A community of Nabtaeans manufactured items
All this in the area before Sahara was named
Our people built a circular calendar of stone
For time and tradition until dryness dug in
Causing five-pointed ones to leap back home
To await the present polar outpouring of fresh water
Baking free from the grip of cold desert teeth
High heat slow releasing liquid starter
The cream for crops of life and civilizations
Another upcoming brief fertile taste of paradise
The doors of the garden church are opening
Modern human's third interglacial optimum
When Sahara will yield surging prides and joys
A greening revolution sprouting tendrils from roots
And cities along rivers lively as girls and boys
Awareness of prophecy, the only thing challenging
Burnt umber, tundra, grassland, forest, jungle
Early on the fourth we rely, earth is re-balancing
And graineries of monsoon rains are mounting
As the river deity brews compost tea and stands by
The eclectic-charged cadence is beyond counting
12.30.1.5 in the guardian way of marking time
Unmanned silo's will burst in rapid procession
As they help refill and reveal dream lines
13 will return to anniversaries, luck and the poorest
Normalcy will be exceeding abundance but no overflow
And another revival will polygamize a rainforest
As ushers watch unbounded grounded on mountain tops
