How many made up stories, do we repeat as facts today,
Years ago in history, a few friends sitting around a fire,
Telling stories, one impressed another, then in the world it stayed.
We question so much in society, in every possible way,
Stories made up years ago, all those written, facts in books,
Like how old is planet Earth, go pick up dirt and rocks,
Make a guess as you play. Like saying all of the dark,
Top soil is the remains of human waste, from long forgotten days,
The time on clocks and dates on calendars, we live our life by,
A human made up, so we never really, know our own age,
Or The ice age was a million years ago, yet we can’t remember,
What we had for breakfast yesterday.
