What History Has Told Us
In man's history
The dead have died
For causes
Which were felt
But not
Felt by all
In history
Men have killed men
Women
&
Children
Only
To protect their own
What a roving gang
Of drunken
Shouting
Holy Rolling
Selfish
Self righteous
Faith pushers
Killing only
To prove to themselves
That they
Were in
The right
Shame
Does not
Describe
Our
Atrocities
History tells us
What we used to be
A million paged
Flip-book
Of blood brimming pamphlets
And
Immovable mistakes
We are caught
In the
Past
Present and
Future
Of time
Like the fly
Is caught
In the spiders web
We shake
We squirm
We squeak with a silent squeal
That no Godly ear
Can hear
In many ways
We are like the fly
Wriggling for
Our falsely justified
Freedom
Trying to escape our past
As well as
Our present
Striving
To become
What history
Would never have
Allowed
