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
