Young Lightning brothers left this Earth long ago
They travelled far away to become stars in the night
 
They were alive here as men on Australia’s vast ancient land
Until Creation Dog’s ear was cut
 
Then a transformation occurred and doubt fixed their form as
their ceremonial guise became real
So every man’s totem was born be it wallaby, lizard or seal.
 
The Lightning brothers themselves were initiated in to the
Great Stellar Family Above
Leaving behind a blueprint, a legacy, a memory of all that
was.
 
So our babies are born and each one is given their
ancestor’s totem to have
One they cannot hunt
One who looks down from the stars
One who teaches a trinity of love.
