Inspired By Jan Allison - Humanity

Humanity, once upon a long time ago did live in true paradise!
Understanding nature more than we ever have, give and, or take. 
Moving on when required, leaving land to recuperate, another day.
Accepting that they had to share knowledge. not to rob the land! 
Never turning fertile soil to deserts, to yellowing eroding sand. 
Indeed collecting, gathering would work today, why don't we try?
Take chances, stick to the simple things in life, water, fire, no strife!
Yes, we must try to understand that what were doing is'nt grand!
