Child Liberation Theologian, Child and Survivor Advocate
.We fight the burning in our hearts
Until the monsters start to spark
Until the night-lights start to fade
We tame the dragons in our veins
.
We grab the ocean by its neck
We wring from waves the ships that wrecked
Until our arms no longer tread
We fashion life from all that’s dead
.
We bury dreams in flowered graves
Like costumes worn in childhood plays
Until the monsters start to spark
We fight the burning in our hearts
