And here we are
This very moment
The present
Forgive me
I'm having
A moment
This moment
The present
This moment
The present
We are the people from the past
We did all that they knew how to do
We might not be advanced as you,
People of the future
But we had hope for you
We hoped that our tomorrow,
Your today,
Will be brighter then our lives are today,
Your yesterday
All that we have to offer you are
Our gifts
From our present
Your past
Only by looking at the past
Can we learn our own history.
The time has come
Before considering the future
Let us first place our present in context
Our past is our context
Our future is our present fulfilled
Our present is our lives right now
We are the people from the past
Save for the french, we were not as civilized as the people of our future
In our lives we used materials
These materials of our lives are now your artifacts
We want you to remember us
For who we are
And for who we wanted to be
We wanted to be you
People of the future
But we were limited to our knowledge
We were limited to our situation
We are the people from the past
Oh, preservers of our past
Thank you
Without your foresight
Why we would be blind
Unknowing to your struggles
Unknowing to your solutions
We would never know
And it would be our loss
A loss for which
A loss for which
We can not suffer
We seek to know
For we need to know
For we live on top of
The struggle you endured
The work you completed
The world which you gave us
We are the people from the past
We must take dramatic action
To preserve ourselves
Or at least our image of ourselves
Into the future
A future we surely will never see
Was to put some of our artifacts
Into a protective capsule
We saved things like
A bottle of tang o ray
My The Ohio State University jacket
Some of my needlepoint
A copy of the copyright notice at the Van Gogh Museum:
It was screwed
to the wall
for All
To
See
Most importantly,
We have put nearly all of our money into this time capsule because
As we all know
Money was really
The only thing
That mattered
Oh,thank you
Thank you,
Woman of the past
Your planning has paid off
Once i do the conversion
I shall find out
How much money
In my time
The money of your time is worth
I want you
And all those from the past to know that
Nothing has changed
In regards to
The role of money
It is all that matters in our american society
But your gift
It is of immeasurable import
The money which you have given
Will either be worth
Something
Either as a collector's item
Or adjusted for inflation
We are the people of the past
It is my hope that as we bury
This time capsule
That you, people of the future, will understand more about
How life was for us, people of the past
And we wish that life is better for you
People of the future
Than it was for us
People of the past
Woman of the past,
Thank you so much for your foresight
I shall see to it that your memory
Is never forgotten
I,
for one,
Shall never forget the genorosity
That you have given to future peoples
People of the past
I feel as if we have connected
I feel as if your present
Was once my present
We are bound together in time
All humanity
At once
In this time capsule
