The Demise of Great Civilizations

Consider this poem from Sir Alex Fraser Tyler 1742-1813

"The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed thorugh this sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back into bondage."

Any Predictions???
