The Awakening

The sun rises on the first day Waves crash on the shore in a beautiful display Plant life spreading in a widening sprawl Animals of all kinds, swim, fly, creep and crawl Man draws his breath for the very first time His mark on the world so soon defined Fire is discovered, tools and the wheel Technology takes off and continues to build Bows and arrows, spears and the axe Weapons of war, man on attack Gunpowder, muskets and cannons do sing Ships take to sail, man takes to wing Wars and death, destruction and loss Technology comes at a terrible cost Machines evolve and think like a man Knowing things we cannot understand Soon robots and machines become our gods Man no longer has reason or conscious thought Soon we will fade into the recesses of time No longer needed in a world so unkind
