Neolitic man found encased in ice arrow piecred your heart, I heard them say why your life, the price you paid did you die for your God? was it greed or some other need? whatever it was the message rings clear not much has changed in ten thousand years What the mind of man can conceive he so can achieve, I've heard them say a major deal when the wheel came into play great pyramids, chariots of the Gods some say stonehenge Merlins magical creation, maybe well decode the human genome some day not much has changed in ten thousand years We live longer, grow taller, shed the same tears controlled atmosphere, and built the chip ignored mother nature while on this trip defied gravity broke the speed of sound split the atom, built great towns built tall buildings, just to knock them down not much has changed in ten thousand years Set foot on the moon for all humankind that should give us some great piece of mind astral travelers please help me to see what the fuck is bothering me what have we learned in ten thousand years? live longer, move faster, the same old fears not much has changed in ten thousand years My religion, your religion who is to blame great armies of the Romans, Saxons and Danes they fought and died but never in vain good against evil, it's Gods will they say great warriors in battle again present day when the smoke clears and the battle is done not much has changed in ten thousand years MJPease THE EARTH THE SON and THE MOON Written March 7th, 2002 © on Mar 15 2002 12:58 AM PST   0 • 9
