But do you not know
That every animal uses
Its name to wall and war its cave,
And that irrespective of its absence* or presence
That cave alone shall symbolize its essence?

what is your place in history?

Are you part of the men
That gladly allowed history
To cloth them in the manuscripts
Or perchance, you are part of them
That jumped and joined the fray
Ignorant and blinded by their very misery
Both hands and legs tied,
As history flawlessly wrote about.

Or
You're part of the men
Those that altered,modified, and deliberately
Changed the drift of histories by writing their own?

But do you have a place in history?
Or you're just placed in history?
Thus,you've missed your place in history
And finally misplaced your history?

So now tell me,
Are you writing your place in history
Or history just placed you in her writings?

Do not walk in the rain and cry
And neither sit in the dark and frown
