Timeline for Tragedy

Jihan, Guardian of all Fantastical Worlds

Throughout history of humans
We have cheated and we have fought.
We have hated, we have tortured,
We have wanted, we have sought.
We have done the unimaginable,
Created lies, created tears.
Named the "weak" and "not as good,"
And given reasons for their fears.
Yet once in every while,
A life appears that is worth living.
One worthy of love and many rewards,
And for all to be forgiving.
Some with artistic passion,
Some use words in beautiful forms.
Some sculpt to express their feelings,
Some use colors to adorn.
They lead us through the way to go,
And answer our questions, even "why?"
And show us we can do anything,
All we have to do is try.
