The Story has no end, yet

The Story has no high point, unless you’re dead

The beginning of the Story is unclear, so far

The Story is life.

Life is filled with wonder and certainty,

Life is the start and the close,

The Life is never ending, for now

Humans are Life.

A Human can create and destroy,

A Human can run and retreat,

A Human is History.

History is the old and new,

Our History is not her History, yet,

The History is just beginning and ending with every breath

History is Civilization.

Civilization is the lighthouse and death edged rocks,

The Civilization is new; That Civilization was ended with a red stained platform,

My Civilization is just beginning, and his is barely breathing,

Civilization has been conquered, corrupted, and concealed,

Civilization worships Gods and follows Devils,

The Civilization has never had one true leader,

Civilization is the Life,

The Life is the Story,

And the Story has yet to begin.
