Elements Of Time

Billions of years in the making
earthquakes, creation shaking
migrating man, across the land
building shelters, shading from heat swelters
elements of weather harsh
hunting animals near the marsh
arrowhead chips of stone
smaller tribes living alone
rituals to the gods
life expectancy, always at odds
populations grew with time
food chain lower, we had to climb
leaders fought each other
sometimes, killing one another
travelers following food sources
wild mankind, taming wilder horses
paleontology ripe with history
time capsules mud buried mystery
stronger of the survival game of evolutions
today's games solved through civilized solutions
