Civilization, Second Degree Trinomial and World Peace

 

I moved around forests

Deserts and grasslands,

Mountains to river basins

With all my family members

In search of better place

Where I could protect me

From giant dinosaurs.

 

I started dwelling in caves

Inside Lascaux and Altamira

Carved some scripts on the walls

Learnt to keep note of feelings

Transcend to the infinite

Generation to generation

From pre-historic to historic.

 

You named me Cromagnon

Hunting man in the forest

Perhaps you found some

Arts in the caves and fossils

What I did at the moment

You came to invent

A great leap of civilization.

 

After long journey through

Deserts and giant forests

Crossing the Nile to Tuang

Roaming around the seashore

Learnt to catch fish

Hunting with stones at hand

You call me "Australopithecus".

 

I did not exhaust of my journey

I did not afraid of rivers

I traveled through without fear

Continued moving around

Circumscribing the globe

No matter what was the day?

What was the month and year?

 

Somewhere you name me

Neanderthal and ramapithecus

Wherever I visited

I left some signs for you

So that you could do

Great scientific exploration

On what I did and where I live.

 

You could find me in Java

Perhaps reached to Peking

And Düsseldorf to Shanidar

Now you think how long

My journey was at a time

Adventurous all the moment

Full of joy that prolong.

 

Long journey to see the globe

I surveyed the better places

I mapped the better lands

Settled at places where

Gathered all together

Started farming crops

Germinating great civilizations.

 

I started human culture

With great agriculture

Friends still roaming around

Lost their ways on ice

Could not return back

Moved and moved to north

Where the pole star twinkled.

 

I settled at the basin of Tigris

Created a great Mesopotamia

A successful venture to Euphrates

Constructed the land of Athens

Nile rive to Ganga

A great leap of humanity

From Stone Age to Modernity.

 

After thousands of  years

Moving on great voyages

I found my old friends

Madagascar to Hawaii

The Virgin Islands to Australia

Siberia to Greenland

A reunion of all friends.

 

With mission to win the world

With vision to conquer the planet

I came out of my home

With all weapons that I had

A "Second Degree Trinomial"

I could not see ahead

Only the mathematics of Power.

 

I sent Yuri Gagarin to space

Armstrong to the Moon

And mission Columbia

To find out the mystery

From asteroid to supernova

The goods that I did with

The Second Degree Trinomial.

 

Now my successful formula

That hits the target

With a greater power

Genocide of people

The planet is in my palm

The algebra is not in calm

The Second Degree Trinomial.

 

Now I realize my sins

How my algebra treated people

Dividing the world into

Powerful north and poor south

I could feed all the children

From the money invested on

Second Degree Trinomial.

 

I have no control now on

The Second Degree Trinomial

Any body can misuse it

In the cost of humanity

I afraid that how to replace

The constant of the Trinomial

With the Peace and Humanity.
