People in the present participate
In a modern day willful ignorance
Regarding the knowledge of our ancestors
Not to deny it, but still with an agenda
By considering ourselves far greater
But ancient methods of discovery
Laid the foundation for the present
The true archives of the past are lost
Lost beyond recovery, however great
Historians should suggest a new path
That we now choose a new angle
If we are without knowing
Should we then assume
Or should we see anew
We are descendants of the past
Our technology and riches ample
So why denigrate our inheritance
The reason comes in an age of arrogance
We choose to ignore actual reality
Great knowledge isn't found in hubris
Only in the false worship of modernity
And presumptions of our greatness
