Poem
The first Magna Carta initiated and asserted, 
The people-centred philosophy which was budding:
‘Cos if the law is not a moral prescription of human rights, 
Then it's just an ego-trip for a any monarchy’s plights. 

After life’s origin with the big-bang, 
Came matter, plants and animals;
And then apes preceded neanderthals,
When Homo neanderthalensis were a gang. 

Homo sapiens then hit the scene, 
Began to practice agriculture in 10000 BC,
And after that a process of civilisation ignited,
The law and order in the land in which we all can be.

And of course with law and order,
Comes creativity, art and industry;
An innate ability to express ourselves,
For greater relativity.

But the original political system,
Just consisted of a king with a crown,
Who was worshipped and adored:
Until his problem was this renown.

The people were disgruntled,
So rebelled against King John,
Who signed the Magna Carta,
Which said that he too was the law under.

So the law then began to pertain to moral values,
And humanism and atheism were for the first time aired,
Because John’s sins were no longer judged by God,
After his life and death, but by people who cared.

Philosophy has burgeoned from that point on,
From Albert the Great’s theory of justice and natural law,
To Descarte’s Heliocentrism and dualistic rationalism,
Which developed into individualism and existentialism.

Ideology matters to the evolutionary process of law,
As the law is either against people, or for them;
And before 1215 it never was the people’s abstract security,
But was rather their daily unhappiness and misery.

Humanity is so much better off for the Magna Carta,
Ourselves, America, Australia and all the world,
‘Cos each individual has human rights, worth and dignity,
As it wrought a change of diplomacy and philosophy.
