Brief History of Man

For ages the undeveloped
ape-man walked alone
stumbling over himself
in darkness

there was no joy
no laughter nor sense of humor
no smiles but in the
pain and suffering
of others

then we arrived
the loving beings of the light

we looked down upon
yet with compassion
sympathy for our fellow being

thus began the great epic tale
of evolution
