RECORDS OF PAST HISTORY



The past wasn’t all that great and the so-called “achievements” - say - 
Of the past pale when we compare them to our capabilities today.

Egyptians built  the fearsome Great  Pyramid weighing 6 million tons in 20 years;
We  dump  7 million tons of rubbish every year in the Atlantic without fears.

Moses   parted the Red Sea  for a while to allow escape; 
But the Soviets made the Aral Sea disappear entirely from the landscape.

Moses also made the Egyptian Nile turn red  for hours  -
The English chemical industry constantly turns the River Tees red, and sours.

History’s important Punic Wars sadly killed 160 000 people in twenty years,
But  US road accidents  kill the same number in only 4 years  - no tears.

More EU harvested grain is burnt  weekly, to combat low-price fear,
Than  a whole year of growing in the mighty Roman Empire economic sphere.

5000 people ate fish and bread with Christ : there were left 12 baskets of good food. 
5000 can eat with McDonalds  with no  good  food at all, just business shrewd.

Great  Wall of China used to be most important cultural object seen from spaceflight;  
Now  that’s nonsense,   it is in fact  Las Vegas at night.

We  have been capable of eroding  the Acropolis much in forty years.
How much erosion from two millennia of  great civilizations?  Nowhere near!

Every fifteen years or so, one  meteor  impact can destroy 80 million trees; 
We  remove  that  from the world’s  forests every week with ease.

Yes our civilization is a world beater
Not just a record-from-the-past repeater
