A world of question's
puzzles and riddles
That day of the 7th black moon
it was a typical
Ahpla response
When returned
I could sense him dancing
" tell me brother , the message "
After a word for word account
Ahpla howled ,
" I would pluck and devour
such sour pride would I "
He then went into a pacing frenzy
I , Agemo , know my brother
soon to settle
eventually compose and collect
We've learned together
skills necessary from each
how we problem solve
what we teach.......
At present moment ,
the cool morning breeze
bringing my mind back
I looked at Ahpla ,
smiled inside
remembering that day
" Ahpla , is it too soon
to inquire of the stone ? "
" Agemo , my brother
how many time's
it is not our's to ask
only to serve "
I thought ,
yea , for what prior knowledge
would do to help now
if most
can't understand the simpler
Ahpla then suddenly
cocked his head
with a wry smile , asked
" tell me , Agemo ,
fore knowledge such stone
beneficial , yes ? "
He was testing...me again
" Ahpla , brother , I realize
other's are long questing
curious , aren't you ? "
Sneeringly , Ahpla remark's
" curious you ask , more of a curse
this infinite battle continues worse "
Ahpla suddenly solemn
" curse myself this anger
our duty is no curse...
Agemo , leave me this moment
I need time to myself "
I , Agemo , know my brother Ahpla
he would confront
hundrend's of our hate enemies
to preserve the way
I understand his anxiety......
Ahpla once counciled me , saying
" it is better to die with honor
than to live in disgrace...
life is a celebration even in death "
Laskrizon ,
where we'll cry
the final tear
strength and honor , no fear............
