Carry me

the Iroquois world on top of turtles back theory

Come,

carry me

on your back

save me from falling

through the cracks

Inside,

outside

I must...confide

I am your world,

I cannot hide

Times barriers

money and things

mean nothing to what

nature brings

My people are mighty slow

like the turtle that lives below

they hate and fight and kill their brothers

but nothings loves as they love each other

One day they will come to see

they are part of the flesh of you and me

Until then they will walk my surface

upon your back

"turtle...at your service"

Author's Note

Incase this isn't so clear:

This is about the Iroqouis legend of a pregnant woman who fell through the cracks of the sky world, and landed on the turtles back, so now the turtle carries the world on his back. She is talking to the turtle saying her earth people are slow like the turtle because they keep fighting, but they love one another deeply, and that one day the people of earth will see, that they are of the same flesh as earth and the turtle, we are all one.

Is this about the war or something? Well I got the feels of a family member or a parent who saves you from danger; loves you to death

I am going to clarify in the authors notes, thank you Cyanide. This is about the Iroqouis legend of a pregnant woman who fell through the cracks of the sky world, and landed on the turtles back, so now the turtle carries the world on his back. She is talking to the turtle saying her earth people are slow like the turtle because they keep fighting, but they love one another deeply, and that one day the people of earth will see, that they are of the same flesh as earth and the turtle, we are all one. Then the turtle makes a little quip about at your service. There, maybe that explains better. I should have explained more in notes

Ah, that's very interesting! Thank you for clarifying.
