Could it possibly be true that
The opposition between age old "wisdom"
And contemporary "madness"
Is simply the invention of backward minds?
Those feeble intellectuals,
Incapable of keeping up with the times.
For awakening minds
Know it to be true,
We are just beginning to discover
What the ancients knew.

a most interesting 'write'!

The last two lines are particularly fine (and true!);

"We are just beginning to discover
What the ancients knew(!)"
  
...perhaps it is 'etched' in the "agriglyphs" near ancient 'sacred sites?!

applause!!
