In the Time of Men

Care was given
 to the sentient beings
 the man and the woman
 and the children who followed.
They would work and sacrifice
 some would lead and some would follow
 some would rule and some would obey
 but the mind grows, times change.
Worthy of life and growth
 the populace would learn
 as all creatures do
 that we were made free
It is we, each of us
 you and me and me and you
 who mold the world anew.
