Sisters by Soul (Magic and Alchemy)

 

They taught us all wrong

They told us we have to

compete against each other

all through life

as if when one is

achieving happiness, 

the plates of others 

are getting emptier, bit by bit.

If we were meant to be

competitors and foes, 

how are we all linked

with the thread of pain?

Every month, we go 

through the same agony

We bleed with a brave smile

carrying out our job and chores

We have all been victims 

of being called the second sex

whether we choose to call

ourselves feminists or not;

We have all faced harassment

in some form or the other.

My heart swells when it 

realizes the connection 

I share with every woman; 

Oh! It is deeper than the oceans

mightier than the mountains

more sacred than 

the Gita and Bible;

We are daughters of the 

divine Goddess 

Mother Earth

Mother Nature

We are sisters by soul

We are sisters across various lifetimes.

When we stand up for each other, 

we change the direction of winds;

When we support each other, 

we make the sun shine brighter;

Once we acknowledge we are

all sisters by soul, 

we will witness a 

sunshower of miracles.
