Humanity
Author: Unknown
History, eras, civilizations
Archaic, antique, classical
Ancient, before Christ, after Christ
Echo throughout the walls of excavation
Bringing the rest of splendor
Damaged by the mould of time
Archeological imagination of illusion
Plundered by greed, power of destruction
Not pure, not straight, untrue with its beauty
Vestigial traces of primeval existence
Traditions, heroic work
Immortal dust of marble rock
Immortal silence following a battle, a storm
A cataclysm, a life, what else?
Nourishment for broadminded intellects
Genetic inspiration of the past
Accumulation of knowledge, thoughts, creativeness
Dried source inexhaustible
Necrosis of human genius
Grotesque prose of history
Habitual, average, simple crowds
Extraordinary and rare individuals
Heritage of fine arts, philosophy
Complete in the music of the universe
Monumental waiting for new
Inheritance from cosmos
Inanimate, insensate
