Lenea

The Lenaia (Ancient Greek: Λήναια) was an annual Athenian festival with a dramatic competition. It was one of the lesser festivals of Athens and Ionia in ancient Greece. The Lenaia took place in Athens in Gamelion, roughly corresponding to January. The festival was in honour of Dionysus Lenaios. There is also evidence the festival also took place in Delphi.The term Lenaia probably comes from "lenos" 'wine-press' or from "lenai", another name for the Maenads (the female worshippers of Dionysus). more »

They used to say to my mama
Her eyes look so old
They used to say to my papa
She is too bold
As I got older, all they wanted to ask me
Is what are you
Are you a Christian
Do you belong to Islam
A Rastafarian or a Jew
Who are you
What do you stand for
Who do you worship
Are you a pagan
What is your belief system
As if
I couldn't see
They just wanted to categorize me
So they could then despise me
Trying to divide me
Into pieces
I am complete
And the truth is

I'm the Original Woman
All life it comes through me
I can say Morembe, Ettise, Hotep or Tendai Mwari
It's all me
I am the Original Woman,
All nations are wrapped up in my story
Every land on this earth has been touched
And blessed by my feet
It's all me

They used to say to my mama
Her eyes look so old
They used to say to my papa
She is too bold
As I grew bolder, all they wanted to ask me
Is who do you think you are
Where do you get these ideas from
Who gave you the right to question
And change our tradition
You're too high
Come out of the sky
What do you stand for
Who do you worship
You must be a pagan
With no belief system
As if
I couldn't see
They just wanted me to categorize me
So I would then despise me
Trying to divide me
Into pieces
I am complete
And the truth is

I am the Original Woman
All life it comes through me
I can say Morembe, Ettise, Hotep or Tendai Mwari
It's all me
I am the Original Woman
All nations are wrapped up in my story
Every land on this earth has been touched
And blessed by my feet
It's all me
I'm the Original Woman
