The Age of Man

Age of Man

Near start of the time of man
Village became two
They had food to eat and give

The people see each other
From hill to settled hill
Each a home to feed and live

Each soul could look at the peace in their life

Each man had fam’ly and friend
They called over woods.
To their brothers greetings sent

Each woman had fond held lover
They met in shaded glen
Love and smiles were often sent

Each heart could look at the comfort in their life

One lone hunter killed a bear
And skinned a sacred pelt
Great delight a snow white hide

A feast called the word was out
To friends and fam’ly
Beckon to neighbors with shout

Each heart could see the great goals in their life.

Hunters in the guest village
Set to search their own
Snow white fur but all in vain

The task was aimed to be equals
In the hunters pride
To be without caused much pain

Each heart could feel the envy in their life

Time passed in unequal strife
The plan was to steal
To display treasure as their own

The plan was run
a trust was broken
a bond was torn

an oath was spoken
a lie was told
Love lost its token

Each heart could feel the pain of never more.

A war was waged people died
friend of son was foe
all for the sake of skin

Survivors moved away
friends and loves were lost
enemy thrones begin

Each heart could see hate
Each heart could see rage
Each heart could see scorn
Observe the human age
