Human Race Long Journey Poem by Sherif Monem

The human race is continuum
Time marches on as a wheel

New generations are born
Other generations are gone

The human race has long history
It is amazing where it came from

From hardship survival living
Fighting nature hazards and perils

to advance societies and luxury living
Dazzling inventions and conquering space

The story of human race is remarkable
It is driven by great sense of bond

Intrigue and quest of great adventure
Facing worries and dreaming of future

The human race early living history
Of meager resources and primitive world

Living in wilderness, jungles and caves
Facing dangers and threatened by beasts

The final outcome, the human race triumphed
Achieved dominance and ruled the world

It was never easy journey or fair sail
Progress did not come all of sudden

It took thousands and thousands of years
Advancing few steps at each time span

Hunger and disease took their toll
Human life for many was cut short

Forces of nature brought havoc
Storms, thunders and Hurricanes

Gail wind and mighty earth quakes
Brought panic, horror and fear

The people settled around valleys and plains
At Cities and towns societies were formed

Tribes and nations eventually went to wars
Atrocities and massacres were order of the day

Religion came along with ferocity good and bad
Trying to explain the mystery of our existence

It brought along mix of peace and hostilities
The story of human race has not nearly finished

With billions of people are now living
Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring

New mail challenges every day arise
What successes and failures lay ahead

The journey of the human race is left
for the ever new generations to discover

All remain, a puzzle in realm of the unknown
In our short range of life we will never know
