Remains of the Past

I have always searched for answers
To the many how, when and why
Despite my obvious struggle
To solve this obscure puzzle
All the history of my fore fathers
Are still concealed from my eyes
	Where do I go from here?
	If I cannot find that clue
	Should I end this journey bare?
	Or must I begin anew
How do I start, when and where
I need to know, the story of their past
In order to grow and find myself at last.
