We can all keep the little flame alive, as we join our voices and march together in peace. Thank you @carsieblanton for leading us, and reminding us of our collective power. "The Little Flame" Words and music by Carsie Blanton A cotton field, a silver mine Johannesburg to Palestine Broken treaties, dreams deprived We kept the little flame alive Bobby Seale to Bobby Sands A picket held in frozen hands Prison cells, freedom rides To keep the little flame alive A hundred years, a hundred more We throw our weight against the door Even if we don’t survive We keep the little flame alive Ford the river, cross the sea A slave, a rat, a refugee Strap the child to your side Keep the little flame alive Ho, Guevara, Connolly We hid them in the scullery Secrets whispered by the wives Kept the little flame alive A hundred years, a hundred more We throw our weight against the door Even if we don’t survive We keep the little flame alive Faye, Dolores, Bernadine Table grapes and gasoline Homemade rifles, kitchen knives Kept the little flame alive Warsaw, Tulsa, Wounded Knee They buried us, but we were seeds Singing from the grave, we rise To keep the little flame alive A hundred years, a hundred more We throw our weight against the door Even if we don’t survive We keep the little flame alive Remember when they shot Joe Hill? He spoke his last and final will Good luck to all of you, don’t cry But keep the little flame alive Vanessa & Artist Friends: @suddenly___susan @suzannachoffel @guyforsythband @jenniferfosterandtheaudacity @shelleykingtx @vanessalively @dannymalonemusic @meadowsdrums @rainarosie @gumbassoprofundo Creative Team: @bluerocktexas @billycrockettmusic

Okay I admit, I’m kinda in love with my role as homemaker, mama, chef, etc…and yes, I’m also the head of household and doing a lot, but I’m pretty sure it’s these simple things that bring the most joy lately. Just have to share some pictures!! 🤣🔥🌈🙏🏽❤️‍🔥 #proudmama #simplepleasures #urbanhomesteading #homelife #motherhood
