a quick flash through the history of humanity.
Freefall Through Time

darkened caves and huts of grass
giant lizards walking past
villages buzzing with merchants cries
selling their wares to passerbys
Armies marching and slaughter follows
cling and clang of church bell hollows
giant machines and industrialisation
shifting changing every nation
technology crushing humanity
no room now for charity
buildings towering in the sky
be careful now the end is nigh
computers humming in every room
preachers predicting humankinds doom
in global homes worldwide
people like you and me reside
we can hear the gloom
and have heard of our doom
we seek in our hearts and heads
the link to all the common threads
and try to find comfort and peace
a quiet moment our hearts release
then off we go back to our lives
worker bees in worker bee hives
and tomorow dawns bright and clear
and again we wonder why are we here
