Religious Poem



With red ocher and black manganese
I'm on my way to Sacred Cave
I carve and draw and paint with these
To thank our god for what he gave

It took me days to climb this hill
The cave is unaccessible
But for our spirits, for god's will
We manage the impossible

I have been chosen to draw my art
They say i do it best of all
And so im here ready to start
My painting on this sacred wall

We don't draw what we like to eat
We don't draw what we use
We draw what's holy, not what's meat
Thats why we draw no deer, no moos

Two reins, both nice and big, i draw
One's the mom and one's the young
I represent just what i saw:
Her licking him with pointed tongue

Next a mammoth group i carve
Four facing the other five
Like us, mammoths don't want to starve
And so they fight for food, for life

My torch burns out, my work is done
In found my way back, i feel relief
I do this trouble, not for fun
I do it just for my belief
