THE ANCESTORS WERE GREEN

THE ANCESTORS WERE GREEN


The past birthed the past
Yesterday orphanned today
A child of night
Day
And indeed
Now revealed


The announced the death
Same assured the rebirth
Our ancestors were green


At graveyard
Burying mystical epidemic
Of peace


Unwisely
The king of the waters fell sick
Dying
Why bait rejecting clay
Teeming threats trading


Suddenly
Horn again
Fellow warriors
Almost rock


Famine at warfront
Family of drought
As illigitimate child
 Laziness proposed
In the eyes were green


When elephant scorned
Wood apparently
Camel neglected thorny
Stick and still
Grasshoppers cursed green
A plague!
Ancestors voice
We were green
Survived green
