Between Species
By Clarence G. Underwood
Rectangles, squares and triangles,
Perhaps they reflect the sky. The
Stars are figures in a plane up high.
Geometric shapes we put the stars
Into, we call them constellations, these
Are shapes in a plane too! Homo naledi’s
Remains were left in a cave. It appears
Some geometric symbols were drawn
Near their graves. The cavern was
Dark just like the night. Could it be
That the symbols represented the
Stars of the night! Homo naledi, do you
Know what the name means? It’s really
Funny, the stars may be in their genes.
Star Person, yes that is what it means.
Star people in the Rising Star Cave, perhaps
It means more than just someone’s dream!
Dinaledi is the chamber where many fossils
Are, it is a place of stars. Perhaps long ago
Someone did actually know that heaven was there
On the ground and that’s why there the drawings
Are found!
