HOW FAR BACK CAN YOU GO?
TO IDENTIFY, THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE,
WHO MADE YOU SO.
FROM ALL DIFFERENT NATIONS-
CULTURES, COLORS AND STYLE-
EVOLVED OUR ANCESTORS, DESCENDING US-
TO A QUICKER AND SHORTER MILE.
TIME ON THE JOB, BEGINNING TO END-
WAS LONG BACK THEN.
TODAY, TEN TIMES FASTER-
BECAUSE OF WHO, WHERE AND WHEN.
IF ONLY THEY COULD IMAGINE-
WHAT THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR-
TRANSMISSION BY SUCCESSION AND TIME TO ADORE.
CULTURES ARE MINGLING,
LOVERS ARE TINGLING.
PEOPLE ARE LY'ING,
AND THE DESEASED ARE DYING.
DIVORCE OF COURSE AND BABIES CRYING.
WARS CONTINUE AND TREATIES PERSIST-
AND CRIME STILL EXSISTS.
WE WERE TAUGHT WELL BY OUR GENERATIONS,
AS EACH NATION MODIFIED IT'S TEMPTATIONS.
BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED-
AS WE STILL KILL AT WILL.
THEREFORE, AS ALWAYS BEFORE-
TIME STANDS STILL.
