time to understand the world, time to understand the monster

time will test us over, and over.
just to make certain that one never forgets.
imagine how wise the human race would be if the process of maturation didn't renew itself with every generation.
old and sage, and a part of the earth. like the trees, or the wind.
but just as time heals all wounds, the body and the mind forget.
and time stands there, ready
to test us once more.
