In the year twentyfour hundred and ignorance
grandfather told me of the family line
who once lived here among trees and parklands of green
where there were strange animals he called cows
which gave milk to drink and it was lush.
There were wild flying birds with wings of the sacred feathers
and the land stretched for hundreds of miles
where it reached down to the sea
which used to be a place you could bathe and enjoy
People were able to run around with their
skin exposed to the suns heat.
There are pictures in the keep of those times.
There were thousands of people then.
Threats of war worried everyone for
the whole planet could become a nuclear desert.
But that wasn\'t what happened.
Ignorance happened.
