Founding Fathers

Founding Fathers

A Poem by Mark
"

Life

"
I have flashbacks of you, from when I was so young

I thought you left me to explore this vast galaxy, for mankind

You taught us how to survive on this big bang evolved planet

Leaving your footprint for us to use and making us all bemused


Is that you our founding fathers, in the bright night sky?

Are you coming home just to check on us, or for a final goodbye?

Show us your calling card, but don't let us lose ones mind

Tell us where you went and why you left us all behind


You made structures out of large stones and pointed bricks

Black and white men from all over, have drawn images on their wall

We study lost language that we can't truly understand, at all

Heavy hauling and perfect angles, were they done with a bag of tricks?


Is that you our founding fathers, in the bright night sky?

Are you coming home, just to check on us or for a final goodbye?

Show us your calling card, but don't let us lose ones mind

Tell us where you went and why you left us all behind


Moe's lambs and Chris's hens always fighting over their goods

While tiny dews slip through to form earths democratic cracks

The worlds weak struggle for food and carry their beds on bare backs

The earls and dukes living behind security gates, in phoney white hoods


Is that you our founding fathers, in the bright night sky?

Are you coming home, just to check on us or for a final goodbye?

Show us your calling card, but don't let us lose ones mind

Tell us where you went and why you left us all behind.
