Hailee RobinsonThe Mutt Speaks of Ancient Drums
I’ve known ancient drums:
I’ve known ancient drums as old as time, red skin men sending praise to the Great Sprit high above.
My soul runs beside my sprit guide, driven by the steady heartbeat of our Mother Earth.
I bathed in the roaring waters of a tropical waterfall.
I bore my family crest across my chest in the heat of war.
I have looked out across the plains driven by a trail of tears away from my homeland.
I have heard the ancient drums;
Of neighboring tribes,
The La Bumba of the Island bongo,
The upbeat pounding of a hearty Irish pub.
I’ve known ancient drums.
Strong ancient blood, thinning over time.
My heart yearns to go home to those ancient drums.
