MEMORY

Memory. . .




            Memory of the ancient,
               I recall the deadly feast
                Distress hollowed succinct
                   slaves wasted lots of yeast.


                        Miracle took place- all faked,
                           at the mountain of debt-  aged
                            Spirits of the land paid
                               neither silver nor gold, but blood


                                    Drums thundered so high,
                                       the priests went ghost
                                        Gongs mourned: raged to fly,
                                           brave soldiers gone ghosts.


                                                Crossbows sitting on caskets,
                                                   picked bones turned weapons
                                                    A war to come; lost is horns
                                                       whilst the owls tell the tales.


                                                            Here and there, full of crossbars
                                                               the enemy combated but loosed
                                                                Survived bodies grew- full of scars,
                                                                   freedom came to unite the brotherhood.


                                                                        Saints walked through this memory,
                                                                           often they eager to tell the tales
                                                                            Entities clashed, lands dug wells
                                                                               as bloodshed flooded here to Cadbury.


                                                                                    In grief, in agony, in tears,
                                                                                       the tales shall mount the ears,
                                                                                        That the oils in our lands,
                                                                                           may come to rise our hands.

                                                                                                   abides the cargo truths unheard,
                                                                                                    Amidst the souls sheltered in Beecroft,
                                                                                                       fearsome- the soldier on guard.
