Kaal And Kaan Women At Peace Poem by Kimberly Burnham

Kaal and Kaan are peace
in Kalenjiin spoken in Egypt
part of the Kalenjiin people's Egypt origin legend
words imbibed with power
"kyeet"
universe world
"ngoeekta kyeet kubeestaap koorgo"
"may the dawn find the world
in the lap of a woman"
in other words
may the next day find the world
in peace as women
associated with peace and tranquility
keeping the world's head
and heart evolving
with fertility and creation
at rest "tankasta"
at peace
in a world of peacemakers
