Ages of humans here they’re told Recite them to the young and old First comes bone and then to stone Next in sun bronze and iron shone These be tools and weapons drawn To make shelter and **** the pawn Men lack hides of Rino thick And teeth to bite but have brains to trick Before the time of written word Know we not of what occurred With our tricks we peer at last To see why we forgot our past Trapped in ice a record tells Of dangerous times that us compels To say that we were simple men Is a lie that we must defend For if there were ages lost Fragile we are and easily squashed That’s why we control the land So she does not to us command We do not know in full If the land can be ruled 5x5  10,000 times Humans walked beneath the pines The ages of women that we know still Are but a scribble from a quill From that time, long forgot In our minds a missing slot Deeds we did were lost in tales Now myths to us dimmed by the ales Who were we before the fall History now, is a scholars brawl The ages of men are short compared To the time before we all had erred Now the age is that of space Not a void but a starry race Here we try and avoid the fall It’s a long way down after all
