History

For millennia,
its been
building
for millennia.
History, 
building 
up over
time.
Mankind’s 
story 
building 
in the ruins
of time.
Digging.
Digging deep
finding layer
after layer
of mans 
ancient 
realities.
History 
of man
building 
in the soil.
Layer after
layer. 
History.
History, being
buried one
layer
upon
another.
Crushing
the past 
as it builds.
Much never
to be seen 
again, ever!
Digital.
Digital history, 
building up
layer after layer.
Digital relics
buried deeper
and deeper.
Crushed.
Crushed by
sheer 
volume.
Pushed deeper
and 
deeper.
Deeper
into cyberspace.
More and
more digital 
history 
building,
layered 
deeper and
deeper.
Some.
Some 
to be
discovered 
by
digital 
archeologists.
Most, never
to be 
seen again,
ever!
