The age of Kali Featuring Diya Naidu
The legend of the dark skinned
The demoness at her charming best
The girl with her skin like rain clouds
heavy with the threat of tears
and other things wet.
The dark-skinned girl with her intentions to match
The girl who has come from the other side
Other side of the river
Other side of the mountain
Other side of the world
Other side of your understanding
And your accepted beauty standards
This non-native who cares nothing for your rules
This independent province
who makes your contempt,
your reflection,
The pattern, the design, the colour of her flag.
A land where she is sovereign.
