Founding Fathers

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 banged up, revolving planet Leaving your footprint for us to use and making us all very 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 all lose our 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 using 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 all lose our 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 those wandering dews, slip through to form geometric cracks The worlds weak, struggle for food and carry their beds on scorched backs as the Earls and Dukes, live behind security gates, in phoney neighbourhoods 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 all lose our mind Tell us where you went and why you left us all behind

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
