You will be someone's ancestor
Act accordingly
We are counting our blessings counting our losses
Lost in memories of lost kin
We all want a long life
But the cost is the longer our life the more often
We will have to see our loved ones lay in their coffins
This is not to darken our spirits
Rather to harken to a life worth living
For our children
For our children's children
So when those weapons are inevitably formed against them
Your granddaughter can whisper through gritted teeth
I am the granddaughter of so and so
And I shall not fail
You will be someone's ancestor
Act accordingly
When your grandson is surrounded by the enemy
On the battlefield of life
With his weapon raised over his raised head
He will exclaim
I am the grandson of so and so
And that will be an inspiration for those with him
And a warning for those who stand against him
You will be someone's ancestor
Act accordingly
Give fear no breath
Give it no quarter
Fear is not fitting for a woman of God
It is not fitting for a man of God
Regardless why be afraid?
Death has already mounted his swift steed
And is traveling at speed for your throat
There is no turning him back
You will be someone's ancestor
So act accordingly
By God there are women in their graves more alive than many of the living
By God there are men lying still beneath the earth still more active than the activist
Would you dare let the dead outlive you?
What a shame to let the dead outlive you
You will be someone's ancestor
Act accordingly
For God said did you think that we had created you in play with no purpose
And that you would not be brought back to us
Don't return to the most high
Unrealized unactualized
Don't let delay decay your vision
Don't let decay devour your dreams
You will be someone's ancestor
Act accordingly
God put that unsung song in your spirit for our hearts
He put that unspoken word on your tongue for our ears
He put that undone deed in your body for our world
Your unsung song is our anthem
Your untold story is our history our prophecy
We need it
We need you
You will be someone's ancestor
Act accordingly
