Entombed Warriors

Qin Shi Huang (first Emperor of China) Plotted his burial, With careful and clear detail. Called in his artists To prepare for his resurrection. Clay warriors and horses, A legion of foot soldiers, Cavalry, Archers and Generals. Swords, lances and spears, And battle axes in bronze, His artists made for him, And All guarded his secret For 2,000 years The Earth Mother Nursed her son, Until By chance, A pick and shovel, Revealed his secret. The earth opened up And exposed to the world, His fear, His insecurity.
