A Tale of Mankind

There once was a man named Newborn,

whom wandered curiosly across the Earth-torn

grasses, and the rocky roads,

and was henceforth known as the Caveman goes..

 

These petty caveman with their bronze

constructed wheels and without their brains

had been crushed by wheels without restrain

and learned by wrote and learned to change.

 

From wicked wheels of stone and mud

came Spartan swords and arrows above;

From wild shields and monstrous blood

bubbiling through these savage doves..

 

Soon aftarwards began slavery,

whence after the fall of democracy,

learn to make a shape, a Triangle,

in the hardest way a man could handle.

 

A wild amount of years later

began the mystic age; Far greater,

or therefore known as the Mideveal

whence Magic was; and Poetry primevil...

 

The skies had Darkened with the age

of the Renaissance, and gunpow'drish stage

had begun the ruins of mankind

when the fair and the bold had intertwined..

 

The raging fires of agriculture

were then consumed by rage and stupid folklore

of preposterous ideas spoken by man

that have led us to the industrial span..

 

Soon after this atrocity,

began a most hideous animosity,

for this is Truth, and truth to be,

So listen well, for chanting fell,

but lies not to Earth nor to Man or Sea;

 

Humanity! Ha! The road you go is vain!

The world you seek

and the powerful peak

will be mashed with Human's refrain!

 

Humanity! Fools! Interwoven dictators

that have futile power,

yet invoke us every hour

into their moderators..

 

This path of knowledge and Wisdom

is a lie, for their is no Kingdom

that man may make that is perfection

for we always face things like discretion,

and If man cannot learn to end these cycles wild

then surely our infinite powers will be set at 'Mild'.

 

Man; The wisest thing I have in my life yet to say

is that you forever will from side to side sway,

and if you cannot open to all

then surely you are destined to fall!
