One Ride On This Rollercoaster Might Cost Me My Life

Do you know us?

Have you heard our story?
Nothing can stop us,

we are sure of this.

What have we done?
first, we made tools and hunted.

We didn't stop there.

We wiped out populations of our own species.

What have we done?
We've fought each other since the beginning of time.

We didn't stop there.

Later, we stuck people in rooms and watched as poisinous gas sucked their lives away by the millions.

What have we done?

First, we recruited soldiers for an army.

But we didn't stop there.

Later, we kidnapped children and after they were drugged we forced a gun into their trembling hands.

What have we done?

First, we bought and sold people, ferrying them around on ships, in cages.

But we didn't stop there.

Later, we lynched them in front of eager crowds.

What have we done?

Sometimes, when the noises of the guns quiet, you can hear the sweet sound of music far off in the distance.

We created it, along with the guns.

Sometimes, when you look away from the battle, you'll see people who are saving others lives at the expense of their own.

They are part of us.

First, we went to the moon.

We didn't stop there.

Later, we discovered life is made billions up of atoms, and that mankind only a link in the chain that is nature’s endless quest for perfection.

What have we done?
We have loved and we have lost.

We've tore us up and we’ve tried to repair us.

We've killed each other and we've saved each other.

What will come to signal the end of all this?
