GLIMPSES OF HUAMANITY’S HERITAGE – 1

PROLOGUE

For a few millennia now humans have survived on Earth. 

Aside from eating, drinking, sleeping and reproducing, 

They have created music,  crafts and art, poems and games,

Dance as well as countless religions over many long ages

I’ll present in what follows glimpses of a few of these

That have enriched all lives in countless different ways.

My hope is that these pages will divert our minds away

From the horrors and the hate, climate threats and politics

That crowd the internet and news channels thus ruining our lives

My goal is not to present a detailed or exhaustive story

Of our Humanity’s long rich, and colorful heritage,

But to give a bird’s eye view of some of our legacies.
