Joshua Lloyd Poet I do not know?

Green Grass

May the greenest grass grow 
Where thy body must lay 
For u call it a tomb
I call it paradise 
I go back 
from which I came
Eternal sleep
Withered away
Not all is lost
But everything is gained
The cold damp nights
Drenched with rain
All my problems I once possessed
No longer remain
I am at peace 
No more pain 
No more suffering
Its all faded away
Gone with the old 
In with the new
Hopefully some of my wisdom
Carried through 
To be used to guide 
And for others to stay true
I am with my ancestors
The ones of old
To be reunited with my people
As I watch the new from afar 
Play about and grow old
They to will be reunited with me 
As I was with the old  
They tell me of stories how things once was
They speak of beauty
How plentiful the land once was
And  how things went wrong 
How they died protecting their land
Before it was destroyed  by the hand of man
Now they watch as man destroys themselves 
They of the old don’t understand
Wiping out their heritage it will never end
They fought so hard to protect  their rights
Now they watch as we begin to wage wars upon our selves
And  destroy their heritage by our own hand 
All of this is seen through the age of time
Listen to the wind as it hits your eyes
The tears that are produced are not from the breeze
But from the words of the old as they watch and weep
Look around what do you see
Open up let your heart be free
Listen with your ears not
but with thy heart
Reach out with all your love
And Listen to the breeze 
as it flows through the trees
It speaks of  wisdom 
And how to be free
