Popol Vuh Chapter 1: In the Beginning

Popol Vuh Chapter 1:  In the Beginning


Brothers Calm and Silence broke their vows of self 

to scream to life one existence 


For him, her, this, that, and all that’s in between 
Their tongues filled a universally shared dream 

The cries of dumb beasts seemed to displease 
and the mouths of the mud men were also ceased 


Gods can move in mysterious ways 
Strange how omniscience still craves our praise 

Sad fates for the forgotten men of wood 
an endangered few survived being cat food 


By monkeying round in the trees 
you can still hear there howls in the misty silk breeze...


Ack-Ack Oo-OOOOOooooo

Ack-Ack Oo-OOOOOooooo

Then came their son of their overwhelming pride 
Vucub-Caquix had diamond eyes and gold bones inside 
“I am the Sun, the Light, the Moon” 
Calm and Silence shook their heads at the baffoon 

Foolish Vucub claimed light as his glory 
The Hero Twins own that right, this is their story....
