The Ancestors Song: A Short Tale of Our History
About this ebook
"Ancestors Song" is a short poetic story of an elderly man's account of his people's history- our history. The tale begins in the author's voice, but then quickly moves unto a man who comes across as a sage of his people. At the end of the song, he questions the wisdom of humanity and our place in the world.
Although the story is a fictional tale, it is actually a condensed, but factual account of our history. However, albeit true-life, the author conveyed a fair amount of the history metaphorically with intimations of major events in our past. One who is well learned in the evolution of life on earth should uncover the inferences in short order, but others should enjoy unveiling the author's intentions.

About the author
I am a Philosopher and a Poet. As I have (often vision impaired) ambled the arduous journey referred to as life, I have learned that unless one is being educated for work, where their future employers would want them blindly learned, the paramount path to education is via the self. Moreover, if the proper means are pursued with an open and objective mind, one may not attain society’s golden piece of paper by which a worth is deemed, but nuggets of a far greater value, which are knowledge and wisdom. If I am allowed to continue my philosophical journey. may I learn to always walk steadfast with an open mind and kindness. However, if the Fates have decreed my final breath near, may they let compassion descend upon humankind until either the day of our species' extinction or a time when we transcend our world of ignorance and illusion.
