Ils n'ont rien appris ni rien oublie <br />They have learned nothing and forgotten nothing <br />So hard these moral men we have tried to teach <br />Lessons from the immortal ones above <br />Yet still they have played to this day dumb <br />Just like their cavemen ancestors of the past <br />Stubborn and unwilling to indulge in any beliefs different or outside of their own <br />And so they pushed us away <br />So far away <br />Until we had no choice but to leave them <br />Open to the preying eyes and evil thoughts of enemy foes <br />Famine, war and general unrest soon followed <br />None of our fault <br />So do not try to blame us for you poor, sadly pathetic mortal men <br />For your troubles and burdens now on your shoulers are none but your own <br />For choosing to think yourselfs superior to your experiences <br />Now and forever more we shall leave you to deal <br />All alone and on your own <br /> <br />2009 Ramona Thompson<br /><br />Ramona Thompson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ils-n-ont-rien-appris-ni-rien-oublie/
