The twentieth century <br /> Will rate in history <br /> As the epitome <br /> Of advanced technology. <br /> <br /> Man has broken through <br /> Many barriers that's true <br /> And that world beyond the blue <br /> Has been explored by a few. <br /> <br /> Truly the moon landing <br /> Was sealed by man's branding <br /> And that feat most outstanding <br /> Surpassed all understanding. <br /> <br /> Upon land and sea <br /> Man faced challenge constantly <br /> And succeeded dauntlessly <br /> In achieving victory. <br /> <br /> And the new millennium <br /> When it finally doth come <br /> Will receive a great welcome <br /> With gusto and momentum.<br /><br />Helen Allan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-20th-century-s-exit/
