. <br /> <br /> <br />Leaving our footprints on shores <br />of Great Seas, <br />walking forever inland, <br />we left gills and fins behind. <br />We played in the trees. <br /> <br />Predators below us, we remained high, <br />then, standing...we saw far. <br /> <br />Back to the oceans one, last time <br />to nurture our young, <br />our bodies' hair streamlined. <br />Predators weren't comfortable in water. <br />As we. <br /> <br />Turning again, we chittered 'farewell.' <br /> <br />As Khan's warriors, we slew Europe. <br />We were Custer's Last Stand. <br />We crossed the Potomac. <br /> <br />We built mansions on the shores. <br />Palaces of jeweled mahogany. <br />We left footprints in manicured <br />gardens, laughing at Bengals, <br />always below us. <br /> <br />Some took to the air, once sacrifice- <br />screamed, to appease who we made. <br />Turkey, Bolivia, Japan- -all destinations. <br />Arrival. Bound captives. <br /> <br />Heading 1-7-4.
