Rewinding time

To select rewind
Travel back in time
Discover earth’s “green”
Untainted design

For, hindsight’s gold
It’s wisdom, not old
It helps us to see
Things never been told

Laid bare, would be facts
In time to react
Perhaps we could find
What history lacked 

With knowledge to grow
Let ignorance know
Equipped with the shine 
Required to glow

Anna, it's definitely nice to think about things as nature intended. The cognitive abilities of our species has definitely changed the equation. As one might conclude from this work, we might behave differently and with more restraint if we knew more about the complexities of the real world. I see you've been posting here for about a decade. I just happened to come across your work today in a comment. Have a great day.
