IMPOSSIBLE MEN

 

IMPOSSIBLE MEN

 

Immerse in deep thoughts, surprised,

Notice leaves sprout from dry wood,

Transforms through passing years grow.

Massive trunk spreads branches on an acre,

The plant depicts existence through a century,

Missed the wood once decayed absorb soil,

Switch of the thought to sight a megapolis,

A monolith settled at a marshy land,

Hundreds of channels of big river crisscross,

Dense forest inhospitable inhabitable place,

Near the ocean, deep water rocky islands,

A few hundred tribes ventured into lived,

A century after,  a few million people live,

The busiest port, a cluster of high-rise towers,

 A thousand miles of streets connected by bridges,

The narrow canals, blue water beautiful,

The heart of business commerce property,

The tribe is invisible people around the globe,

Disbelieve the panorama possible to rub,

The tree symbolizes human achievement,

Obscure courageous men, daredevil men,

Watch people dying sick, disease unknown,

Builder of future metropolis attests honor,

Looked minutely, an island people,

Green eyes bearded with hat leather shoes,

A wooden boat sails around the globe,

Discovers vast continents, unknown lands,

Left home for good, established settlements,

Unfriendly native savage weather, hostile land,

Died hundreds raised more but grew,

Tamed the land, natives, weather, impossible,

Standing vast civilization new culture race,

Melting pot assimilates world culture, faith,

Mighty once they were mightier, therefore,

Powerful countries, the mariners, sailors missing,

Decayed wood no more under the soil,

Sacred, their dauntless spirit lives inspire too,

The trees resemble spread over a continent,

Island continent sings for these impassible men,

Colloquial when naming their race language,

Island people covered worldwide in time,

Controlled a few countries, built a few more,

Wordless to believe, a language unites the world,

World citizen prefers to communicate,

Looked minutely from papyrus to trillion books,

The ingenuity of men transformed the world,

The press first printed fewer unknown changes,

These are impossible men thought, simple,

Write first print a book, a billion reads,

Understand  a race, history, custom, culture,

Progress science, technology, medicine, literature,

Not even the child of current age thinks,

A few impossible men printed a book,

That bridged knowledge the tree spans the earth,

Teapot steam throws out the lid,

Looks at this man and built a locomotive,

Unambiguous to a child, looking the transport,

Never that time imagined, steam engines grew,

Billion every hour travel unthinkable event,

Caught sight of a teapot, the world did change,

Kite, the bird, paper plane, if a message,

Few men followed intrigues, intricate rules,

A man can fly a plane, can fly once dreamed,

Speechless stumbled on ideas first flight,

A billion today catch flights the world over,

The human race stuns at impossible men,

Found missing this word impossible,

Their thoughts and courage were impossible.
