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
