Heritage

He who cannot draw upon three thousand years
Is living from hand to mouth
If there is wisdom
Let's hope to find it here

Come to know
All thoughts advance
Era to era
And so if
You wish to understand
Modern process
Look behind and witness
Conception

Now stand on the shoulders of history's tallest thinkers
See that their height
Is borrowed from predecessors
And even the worst ideas
Can spur better conceptions

Pushing
Humankind
Along
An evolutionary
Rite of passage
Take a look and come to know

All thoughts advance
Era to era
And so if
You wish to understand
Modern process
Look behind and witness
Conception and progress

We'll be tomorrow's
Heritage
The giants of advancing thought
But if only
We respect
The statuesque preceding

Let's be tomorrow's
Heritage
The giants of advancing thought
Let us respect
The work of
The statuesque preceding
