My Moko is a piece of Poetry I wrote after mine was etched on my face. Te taonga O taku tupuna🤍✨️ This is a gift passed down from my Ancestors!🪶👑 In the beginning of time the woman wander within ancient weaves of beautiful tapestry, I am a sacred seed Scattered in the Heavens The place I was born, nurtured and freed, My moko Is my identity, Truth, Justice, Liberty, My moko Is my warriorness Womanhood, Strength, Courageousness, My moko Is my voice Elegance, Beauty, Poise, My moko Is my whole Spirit, Essence, Soul, Each line tells my life story For I shall not hide A gift passed down from my ancestors I wear it with mana, dignity and pride, It connects me to my family Therefore I can never be misplaced The past, present and future I bare upon this face ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ Tihei Mauri Oramore
