Civilizations

Through this mound of darken earth I see signs of civilizations birth A shard of pottery a piece of bone Once this place was for man a home Nothing civilized ever last All that was civilized will pass You walk the tombs of ancient man Gradually with each step you understand The grander the wonder the majesty of it all Yet where did it go? Why did it fall? The songs the poets the music the dreams The riches the science inventions then screams Calamities, barbarians at the gate Or simple contempt becomes your fate Forver your technology ruled your day Than suddenly it vanishes then you fade Layers upon layers we unearth our creed Modern and buoyant we shall forever be In a blink of an eye within a flash Our souls are unearth how they marvel at our past.
