Question: What do echoes tell you!?
History Echoes
Stacked so high
The footsteps that passed
Connected
Feelings, history
The hunters
Searching, taking food
Are hunted
Bones lay witness too
Farmers now
Sowing, reaping food
Starving cold
Sod houses buried
Merchants sell
Building, glass and stone
Serving coin
Poor are pushed away
Angels dwell
Puzzled, footsteps here
That was man!?
