The Fate of the People of the Lake

Walking towards work i exercise my body and think of early man The Bible is filled with poetic magic but science has changed our views on our ancestors over the years we descendants of Ramapithicus have tried many ways of governing ourselves Socialism, capitalism, monarchy, democracy We mustn't give up Early man discovered tools now mankind has the tools to destroy ourselves Let us pray that our species is not eliminated by our own hand Let us taste joy in our holidays - in our strengths and in our love for each other our ancestors made mistakes It is up to us to correct them

Wow, this is powerful, Matthew. I agree with everything you've said, I truly hope we are not eliminated by our own hand. I love the message at the end. Well done!
