GLIMPSES OF HUMANITY – 1

PROLOGUE

Over centuries and millennia

That humanity has survived,

Aside from  eating, drinking

Sleeping and reproducing,

Humans have also created

Cakes,  crafts, music and magic,

Poems, paintings, drama and  dance,

Religions and oh, so much more.

I wish to recall in these pages

Some of the  legacies of those no more.

While remembering them I hope to take

My unhappy mind away

From the horrors and hate,

The wars and crimes,

The pollution and politics

That cause many of us lots of  pain.
