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
