Clash of Civilisation

The Mesopotamians,
The birthplace of writing, building the ziggurats and palaces.
The Greeks, 
Warriors and philosophers, diverse in their ways of thinking.
The Romans,
Masters of conquests and destruction.
The Egyptians,
With creative minds and architectural prowess.
All are different and diverse.
But they still all believe that they are the one.
They believe that they are the protagonists of our world.
Portraying their stories in their own immaculate light, 
Shining in their versions of stories mixed with lies,
As the centre and hero of the story.
