The Ancients

Knowledge is kept

On the hands of the ancients

The truth is skeptical

For understanding the semantics

What was Atlantis

Is now vast ocean

And Rome only a portion

Of that major civilization

Can we read with no distortions

The hieroglyphs for interpretation?

At the end we still do not know

Unless together we sew

The pieces of evidence

Gathering the meaning behind

The fine paintings of elegance

Either on the rocks in the caves

Or the pyramids and its walls

There is vivid communication

From slaves to gods

I wonder if the Aztecs

Knew the logics of living

Or the Celtic with their singing

Knew the arts of Mathematics

Were they our teachers

And we still refuse to believe?

Were the Greeks preachers

Who planted the learning seed?

The Mayan rituals

And the Inca trails

Have we become too habitual

Or perhaps unspiritual

Have we failed?

Most of us are really blind

About their advancement

Although, no one can really find

Any suitable explanation

For the knowledge and ascension

Gathered within their tribes

The movements of the starts

And the positioning of the sun

The precise calendars

And the perfection of the constructions

Who are we, beyond simple biology?

What have we achieved

With our high technology?
