The labor pains are long and hard
As justice is born
Again and again
After a 400 year gestation
Many stillborns many miscarriages
Of justice denied all these years
This time the birth will happen
Regardless of what happens to
Our mother the mother of us all
As she strains against the pain
This time be baby will come
Come hell and the high-water
Guaranteed by our negligence
And indifference
