The Family Tree

Our ancestry warrants closer inspection

Spiralling branches coursing through history

Genes looking for that long lost connection

The final jigsaw in the infernal mystery.

Amateur genealogists search for glory

Of an offshoot that might need inspecting

In order to tell their offspring a lofty story

Of a murky past to which they are connecting.

The priceless lock to the past is worth picking

To open the door on a world so revealing

So be quick as the clock is relentlessly ticking

And unlock what the rich past is concealing.
