*Based on the short story “The Warrior and the Captive” by Jorge Luis Borges
There was a man
An innocent man
From a primitive land
He worshipped the earth
In the forests of the north
Mother came first
He left magic
For eternal arches
And open spaces
He left magic
To fight in the south
For civilized Rome
Call him a traitor
For deserting his people’s cause
Was it something written in unknown symbols
That turned him against his Gods
Fast forward
thirteen hundred years
And a few thousand miles
A grey eyed
Blonde haired English woman
In Argentina
She left comfort
For feasts of scorched meat
To plunder and to scream
She left comfort
To walk barefoot
In the wilderness
Call her a captive
For not choosing this way of life
Her parents killed in an Indian raid
Today she is the chieftain’s wife
Well I don’t understand
Anthropology
All apologies
But them two people
They’re one in the same
They’re on the same plain
They let themselves
Free from reason
To feel an impulse
They let themselves
See the other side
Despite the recourse
Others may judge
What they can’t understand
Each flip of the coin
Is the same
Don’t you understand
The traitor and the captive
The traitor and the captive
The traitor and the captive
The traitor and the captive
