A Past Unknown


Who sailed the seven seas?

Who brought who to their knees?

Who went and fought in threes?

Why must we know this?

Why do we care?

Why is ignorance bliss?

Why do people fight in midair?

When did men turn into kings?

When did we discover springs?

When will people finally spread their wings?
