Put the slides
In front of me

And I can see
History

Each file
A glimpse
Into time

This machine
Can show me
Mongol Hordes

Or the city of Nazareth
During the time
Of Christ the Lord

Put in a file
And you can see
A prior time
Of history

I saw Diogenes
Sleeping On a bed
Of straw

Did you see
Pope Julius II
Gaze upon Michelangelo's
Sistine Chapel ceiling
With awe?

I saw Jackson
Standing like
A stone wall

His left palm
Facing outward
He did raise

And for the victory
God he praised

The South won the battle
Of First Bull Run

But the Civil war
Was not over
It was far from done

To be continued...
