Lady Ruby walks with the Ancestors
on paths treacherous and costly;
on paths where the honorable and heroic
stay focused and resolute.
Truth lights her path amidst the darkness
of hate and fear, and the lies and threats
of political bullies and white supremacists.
Her faithfulness is a shield.
Her resoluteness is a sword
which pierces the veil of dangerous actors
in conspiracies of hot, decaying breath
constricting her strength but never defeating it.
Lady Ruby walks with the Ancestors.
They lift her up and show us the story long hidden,
and now threatened to be forbidden,
lest we learn what we need to know
to perfect our union and ring the freedom bell
for all Americans. This is the story Lady Ruby tells.
Lady Ruby walks with the Ancestors.
Let us walk beside her.
