Analysis of Ancestors Anthem
My ancestors say that I stretch far beyond the present existence to the roots of her...,
Mending the wounds and soothing the pieces that graze the minds of others
The pieces that lie statues throughout time in resilience.
Mother ancestor says to me,
Just tend to the wound and soothe the pieces,
Till time has run its course,
For the grief cant' keep the light from coming through.
You keep mending, soothing caus'
Time is runnin' short
An' soon you will be the essence of all time..,
Stretching our strength as you strut with tenacity reassuring your lineage our legacy...
