History, Lost and Found

On who I am and where I came from

I found the source,
The place I sprouted from
Through all the wombs before,
Where I discovered truth
Without a blindfold at last,
Unearthed with just a little digging.
There in revered old books,
Grand old buildings,
Old street names,
Sugar, cups of tea,
But I was taught not to see.
