Chronicles

by Mark Olynyk

he found the chronicles of the scribe
describing the trials
of the lost tribes in exile

cuneiform writing on tablets of clay
inscribed with a life and times
of traditions preserved

transmit the wisdom of a nation
to descendants in the future

sending e-mails just to chat
walking with their cell phones
linked to satellite

distributing images with net cam
life in real time on the web

history is buried in a capsule
receiving signals in space

search engines are holding the key
to prehistoric cave art
saved in a laptop
