THE GHOST OF OUR FATHERS PAST


"From whence do thou come to us?
With scanty hair and shoes covered in dust,
And face so white like clouds just after dusk,
And voice like many speaking at once"

"From the world beyond, I have come,
To behold the world I fought to form,
How thou trampleth on my legacy like Caucasian rugs,
And to tell thee that the worst is yet to come"

"Ye are not of this world indeed,
And what ye has spoken, we heed,
But do not perceive what they mean,
We implore thee to tell us what thou knoweth or have seen"

"Because ye has asked, I shall tell,
Thy world was built on the bones and blood of men,
To see it crumble is a sight, so hard to stare,
But indeed the worst is not yet here"


Virgo



How prudent thou art,
Allowing not a trifle of detail
In the contours of the earth
Escape thy eyes.

The brilliance of thy face
Bewray
Thou art closest to the sun

Oh thy mind
An epitome of intellect
Thou emphasize the beauty in art
And earth

Sew upon this world
Thy purity
Thou art truly a friend

For life.
