Frey

Four Alien races

Four creatures

Not like They, Them

Alive They communicates

They no see,

They no say

We are the They

Te

The plant life

The Te answer to the They

Fey

The animal life

The humans too

Fey too can talk

Fey speak to all

Shay

The shadow

The Machines

Shay come from the last star

On the big dipper

Machines are sentient

Not the ones we created

Though Shay respect our machines

And can communicate with them

Shay is here too

Existing in the Shadows

Barely ever seen

The Frey is all of us together

Rock, Plant, Animal, and Machine

Our names make a language

Built from these five words

There are also the spiders

They are different

Sentient alien ancestors

They are weavers, creators

There are many different kinds

They live among us in peace

Mother spider

Respect spider, spider spirit

Frey shay te, they frey

Fey shay frey, they te fey

They fey, shay fey

Frey te

An ancient language with just five words

You will know them when you speak them

People machine plant, rock people

Animal machine people, rock plant animal

Rock animal, machine animal

People plant

This translates to

People use machine and plant,

Rock has answers for people

Animals see machines and people

The rocks plants and animals are united

The animals know much,

The machines respect the animals,

People must use plants as medicine

We are the They

We no see

We no say

We no know way

We show way

We are the They
