   @simsa03 poem continues...

   to tell the children,
   to tell the children,
   to tell the children

   how to compact the whole life of our tribe,
   a small tribe,
   into a bundle of words and pictures

   small enough to carry
   inside the head of an elder,

   but enough
   to survive a long trek,
   and feed the whole tribe,

   by the low fire,
   in the great dark,
   under a starry sky,

   give us meaning,
   give us meaning
   give us the meaning.

   by which we mean to survive.
