Sumerians... 
"Upon the corpse,
hung from the pole, they directed the pulse and
the Radiance. Sixty times the water of life, sixty times.... the food of life,
they sprinkled upon it, and Inanna arose"….
.............................................................................................
We are the ancient scribes who brought writing into existence
as we enscribed our esoteric knowledge and understanding in clay
poetry and literature flourished first in our schools of education
we gave birth to the power of the written word and verse
by inscription and printing we enscribed our messages on the world
our pictographs impressed our desired sequence of signs
we devised the tools of mankind and humanity
the wheel, metals, boats clothing, law, medicine, musical instruments, fuels and energy
we are the germinal unit of all the high civilisations
out of nowhere we arrived, to create the whole cultural syndrome
veiled are our secrets, and imparted only to those who are worthy
to conduct the never ending labours of the universe
mathematics and astronomy were developed through our hand
and our own Sumerian calendar has stood the test of time
our sublime red clay formed the modern brick
that has constructed countless houses, temples and palaces
as our metal artificers created works of wonder
As we contemplate the great Sumerian civilization we find
that not only are their morals, justice, laws, and architecture and arts
rooted and steeped in Sumer
but the Sumerian institutions
are so familar, so close
at heart it would seem, we are all Sumerians
