Civilizations have fallen and risen,
To the heights of fame and glory.
The world has changed in so many ways,
Since the beginning of human days.
There are statues, tablets and scrolls,
That record the worlds that have been.
There are tales to be told down the ages,
About wise men and faceless sages.
There is power held in those ruins,
About the reigns of Kings and Queens.
Our world today firmly stands,
On the blueprints of ancient laid-out plans.
Museums are the monuments of time,
That we need to return to in life.
We need to appreciate the worlds of old,
That now lie forgotten restless and cold.
The chronicles of time tucked away,
In museums away from the light of day.
Visit your local museum tomorrow or today,
Gain the wisdom of old from artifacts grey.
