Dedicated to my friend , who inspired this work with in me. And my friend who helped me to put it on '' The Bay ''


HUMAN BEING

Once upon a long , long time ago ,
I lived in the sea , evolution had ,
Beget me ,
Time came I swam to the low lying
Land ,
Upon the land I was some times ,
Stranded , sea came in ,reclaimed me ,
As time passed , I developed lung's ,
A brain , with a mind , developed ,
In to ape I became , I lived in trees ,

Then on the ground I dropped ,
With my mate , Lucy , became my muse ,
We travailed near and far ,
In to the world we went , some times we ,
Remained , other times we moved on ,

Been to Athens , talked with philosophers some great ,
Some not so great ,
Rome , Berlin , Paris , even London , from Ramsgate ,
Now , even hear I travail near and far ,

We are evrey human being that ever was , is and will be ,

The journey continues

You have excelled yourself, my friend!
Here you capture an epic journey.
I have wandered much myself, as you know. And yes, there has been something of a drop. But my soul sings in Athens, with Socrates, my guide. He was put to death, yes, but his spirit is certainly alive in you and perhaps a little in me. And I am grateful for that.
The line 'Some not so great' made me laugh...
Applause! :-)
