Citlaltemini (brother from the stars)
by Juan Manuel Perez
⚫
I have seen blue skies
a beautiful place beyond
much further than home
⚫⚫
I have seen blue skies
where the bronze people worship
such as those like me
⚫⚫⚫
I have seen blue skies
with large constructed temples
lush delightful trees
⚫⚫⚫⚫
I have seen blue skies
discontent with simple life
long to stay behind
⚊
I have seen blue skies
where soldiers can become gods
fulfill every lust
⚫
⚊
I have seen blue skies
a concocted plan for three
against directives
⚫⚫
⚊
I have seen blue skies
soon they'll find out, here we'll die
…face up to blue skies
