Poetic-Verses
'' Why Can't Modern Science Explain ''
Machu Picchu in southern Peru,
A modern wonder built by who?
They did things we still cannot do,
Their achievements drive academics insane.
Egyptian pyramids to the stars align,
Built with an accuracy we can't define,
Primitive people made this great design?
We will not see their like again.
Takal a Mayan city state,
A masterpiece the ancients did create,
How it was built they still debate,
It's the cause of great disdain.
Angkor Wat has to be seen,
Built by humans it couldn't have been,
It's their skills we demean,
On their character we place a stain.
Petra in Jordan carved into stone,
As a human creation it stands alone,
How they managed it is still unknown,
It is such a beautiful domain.
Stonehenge a mystery as to how was it built,
Stones from Wales embedded in silt,
Despite thousand of years they still don't wilt,
They were made to take the strain.
Easter Island, which is filled with mystique,
Like all the others they reached a peak
Those massive heads that will never speak,
Leave us searching in vain.
The Coliseum built by Roman guile,
Completed by slaves in an artistic style,
It really stands out as a beautiful pile,
Our curiosity we can't restrain.
The Parthenon in Athens is a joy to behold,
Despite technology the trail remains cold,
Many of its secrets will never be told,
There are some we will never obtain.
We insult our ancestors by questioning their brawn,
An alien frenzy is all that we spawn,
Comments they were primitives need to be withdrawn,
From belittling them we need to abstain.
History is littered with lost civilisations,
They managed to fulfil their aspirations,
Yet today we treat them as the poor relations,
We allege they did not have a brain.
As our search for answers gathers pace,
Some insist they were built by an alien race,
To ignore human talent is a total disgrace,
In fact it is inhumane.
In their own time they lived hard and fast,
Their skills and the secrets now lie in the past,
These architectural wonders were built to last,
That knowledge we'd love to regain.
Today we lay claim our intelligence has increased,
They can't answer back as they're all deceased,
They were far more advanced in building at least,
Their attainments we cannot constrain.
We claim they were primitive they did not have the will,
All they ever did was to pillage and kill,
If to build ancient monuments they did not have the skill,
