The Ones Before Us

There once was a time,
when none, of the luxuries, came into play.
People actually, had to do, by hand,
and use their will, to make, their way.

Took longer, for something, to be produce.
For a service, to truly, be done.
All work scheduled, was indicated, 
by, the actual position of the sun.

Soon came, the coming, of a new age, 
with discoveries, and inventions from many an intelluctual mind.
Helping were they, in their decade, 
in reaching a height, of improving the lives of all man kind.

Even though improvements, had then begun,
the ones before us, didn't have, what we had, on the spot.
Any improvements that we receive, from this moment on,
we should appreciate, and realize what we, already got.
