Why I call you my sister

I call you my dear sister, 
Not because you are from Owo,
Or its because you are from Oke Oja.
I call you my sweet sister, 
Not because you were born in Ehin-Ogbe..

I call you my lovely  
I know that you are not my father's daughter...
That I call you my sister, 
It's not because you are Olanuwesi's daughter 
That I call you my dear sister..

I call you my Sister sister 
Sometime I will call you my sisterly sister 
Not because we are related by blood
Not because we are same complexion 
No No Not because you are an African...

That I call you my sister, 
It's truly because, 
I know your journey 
I understand our journeys
I respect our journeys 

My dear sister,  I call you my sister 
Nor because of blood 
But because of our shared experiences 
Its because I know what we have passed through 
Yes what we are passing through daily 

That's why I call you my sister 
Because we survived 
We are thriving in spite of everything 
We are achieving against all odds
We are sisters breaking every barrier.

This is why I call you my sister......

To every sister smashing Patriarchy!!!
