Moments in Time


Darkness.

With new eyes one can see a whole new world.

From learning how to survive

To failing to cope,

Men and women are able to move on and live.

Jump ahead.

We are now to new inventions.

Man is able to use the earth's natural resources to help aid him.

Living and traveling is easier.

Man becaomes one with animal

As they assist each other throughout life.

A few more steps down the line of time.

Guns and wars.

Peace is dwindling.

Communication and compromising is lost.

Leaders turn away from their people and do what they feel is best.

No one listens to try and see a better way to deal.

Everyone is handed the same cards from the same deck.

Leaders and followers.

Or traitors for having different views.

Evolution.

It doesn't only occur with living beings.

Technology and transportation are made better

To make life easier.

Even between neighbor's and familly

Communication lacks and all is said through a virtual universe.

Each and every moment in time is significant.

Whether it be good or bad.

Beneficial or having a turn for the worse.

These moments help those of us move forward so we don't repeat the past.
