Great men used to walk this earth.
Taking strides with their wide girths, they were willing to loose everything to save the world.
But as time passed, so did they.

Leaving it to the history books to say what legacy they left behind.
Whether or not they were good men is what we're taught,

But  nothing on what they actually said
And nothing to tell us where they were heading
Except for where we are.

Can you imagine if we were the people of the past?

No one says anything important anymore.
The human race wouldn't last for sure;

With out our iPhones and iPads.
Without someone telling us what to do, we wouldn't do anything.

We used to spend our days using what we had.
We had two sticks and made something thing incredible.

We used our innovations to create something edible,
Because we were so invested in each other.

Finally though our own decendents became dependant on the things that other people grow,
But we still can't feed the world.

We should be able to save the world.





Without the people of the past, we wouldn't have what we do now.

But, they say, laziness breeds innovation.
