I'm a Guatemalan poet,
Master of apostrophe
I work in Milan who on roadways,
Of this 21st Century.
A Guatemalan Mayan,
My name ends in 'B and 'E.
My name ends in 'B and 'E.
Even though I'm a Tikal poet,
I drives the straight Sac'be.
I married a Mayan lady,
From the port of X'caret.
Took her back to Tikal city,
To write, and be a poet.
As a Guatemalan Mayan,
We loves our Adam and Eve,
Everyone in Milan does knows it,
Who lives in Italy.
My grandfather was a Nak'be poet,
He worked in1400 BC.
A Mayan, he wrote on white limestone,
On wide causeways, just like me.
Notes:
Tikal - A pre-Columbian Mayan civilization, located in Northern Guatemala, famous for its pyramid and other religious structures.
Sac'be - a causeway or straight roadway engineered by the Maya, connecting cities and religious sites. The Maya built the 'white ways' or 'white roads' during the peak period of pre-Columbian civilization. Superbly engineered they today are used as foundations for modern roads and railway lines.
Nak'be - one of the earliest of pre-Columbian Mayan sites. It is located in the Mirador basin of Guatemala.
X'caret - A seaside village in Mexico located along the Riviera Maya, a port in Mayan times, recently transformed into an eco-theme park.
