Ancestors Anthem
My ancestors say that I stretch far beyond the present existence, to the root 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 grief cant' keep the light from coming through
You keep mendinging, soothing caus'
Time is runnin short,
An' soon you will be the essence of all time,
reassuring your lineage our legacy ...
