We the humans

We lived happily
We lived gaily
Like friends, like siblings
All together
Playing and eating
Four limbed with small brains

Lived on trees
Hunted for food
Not a single demand
Not a hint of greed
We lived happily
We lived gaily

One day
Came the devil
Offered a shiny jewel
To one who will finish the race first
And the greed
Was Shining in our eyes
We fought
We raced
For a mere jewel
We lost our innocence
We  lost inner self
No more together
No more gay
No more happy
We fought for Devil's ugly prize

We killed
We cried
But we were not to unite
And came the big wave
We Lost all trees
All glory
All beauty
To the ice age
We were hungry
We were crying
Eating away each other
Desperate
We killed each other again
Slowly slowly
We Withered away
We lost
We went away

Earth was no more our home
All left was hope

Years later
Came the better ones
Better, smarter and larger
Inhabited the earth
We again Lived happily
We lived  gaily
Developed the tools
Improved the life
All were in heaven

Living happily and gaily
With a silent promise
Not to die away fighting
But again arrived the devil
This time no jewel
No glitter
In his hand was a paper note
The prize was large
But the race trikier
To earn it
We had to act the ugliest
The battle was on
We Went into fight
Just like the old ones

Life was better
And worse for some
With new things
Devil increased the prize
On came the wars
On came the nuclear weapons
The big gadgets and the bio weapons
The battle was on
the hunger to win unnerving
But someone watching over
Was awaiting the same fate
He had new breed
In his mind
The plan was ready
The new were better
With better minds
But all he was waiting for
Was the dawn of new ice age
Just like the old one
