"true to your roots
true to your heart
you must find a way
to go through your life
taking in the earth's red dye
that causes a black eye
and grows wheat and rye

given to me is my roots
of slavic truths
that the story can be told
no matter how old
in a simple egg shell
for all i will tell
the story of how
you had a cow
and nothing now"
