We carved Our future out of rocks and stone

and took the marrow from animal bone

bent wooden statues to ride the seas

and brought the rivers to their knees

harvested the forces of crystals and plants

created electronics and power plants

erected skyscrapers teeming with glittering glass

carved a canal through countries so we could easily pass

and what is the result of this wonderful creation?

Being able to terraform a whole nation

Curing disease and educating the Youth

exploring planets far from Our view

creating art that makes Us dance and sing

going back to primal roots after everything

charting history and relearning names

slowly building a society that allows individual gain

We have come a long way

and We have long yet to go

but life is magical

being Human even more so

take a moment to celebrate what Our Ancestors have achieved
