Against the backdrop of the world
Silhouettes appeared...
Impressions burned into time
See indentations
Down smooth lines of the face
Feel years
Broad shoulders tightly drawn
Sense burdens
Hands stretched outward to mankind
Share giving
Sinewy legs ready for flight
Know progress
Firmly planted steadfast feet
Portray security
Against the backdrop of the world
Silhouettes appeared
As History...
Against the backdrop of the world
Silhouettes living
For today
Drama unfolding
Dreams, schemes, master plans
Enacted...
Today, their future 'tis ahead
Tomorrow, only silhouettes
From the past, 'twill be
Just history...
