The Fathers

The Fathers

Souls speak to us from afar
Guiding today’s generation,
with the stars.

Their once precious
untouched land,
Has become soiled
By man’s greedy hand.

The strength and honor
in which they fought,
cannot in today’s braves
Be taught.

The bloodlines are mixed
and are less than sure.
The ties that bind
get thinner each year.

The secrets of the fathers
need to be shared,
With the young and the hungry
Who need to compare.

The life they live today,
With its danger and fears,
To the beauty ,serenity
and the wisdom
Of the past years.
