And this NEEDS to be at the forefront of narratives

True Masters are most often quiet

since they got nothing to prove

Connection rooted in our bones

filters down without end

Thus

we built without blueprints

Distinguished medicinal from poisonous plants

Swam the coral beds and knew where to look

But

you thought

we had to sit in classrooms

and demonstrate mathematical abilities

while the cosmos was born in us

and in fact

you felt inferior

exerting monumental effort

to convince us we were stupid

as we crafted

tools that you harvested with

garments without measured guidance

medicines from the abundance of our knowledge

that kept your sorry asses alive
