Ages.

Age of Life.
Dawn breaks on the world.
Creatures rise from the seas.
Born into a fresh and empty world.
Theirs for the taking.
Things grow and evolve.
Changing their shapes and sizes.
Eventually humanity evolves.
The world bows before them.

Age of Honor.
Man has rules and laws.
To break them is to break away.
Control and deceit are laws.
Yet this is hidden.
One shall face one.
On equal ground.
All shall face One.
Behind the curtain plots spin.

Age of Profit.
None but the rich truly matter.
Money is a cruel god.
The only desire is for matter.
Foolish and unwise.
None of the lies are hidden.
They are in plain sight.
And there is no place better to hide them.
The world keeps on turning.

Age of Endless Conquest.
Greed and desire reign supreme.
All must bow before us.
We shall reign supreme.
We must.
Selfishness shared by an entire species.
Concern for others is futily.
Everything is below our species.
We are fools.

Age of Devotion.
To all things comes an end.
This ending will be good.
I do not hope for any other end.
We might yet learn from our mistakes.
Selflessness and universal love.
Perhaps a foolish hope.
Dreams are important.
This is hope.
This is the future.
