A bookshelf filled with knowledge
Supporting a globe, silver and grey
Replica
So saturated in life
Condensed into a sphere
With all shades of grey and silver
Borders divide river
Forest and marshland
Hands
Of families who reside
On arid land masses
Whose ancestors sung proud in an archaic tongue
Unknown to the ear of the present day young
Books beneath the globe
Tell all that was omitted
All that was permitted
By mortals
Who thrived on the same terrain
Who once felt they had something to gain
Entitled to a purpose
