History has many action parts
But let it be knowledge illustrating from the start
Ancient Rome having struggles and victory
Too some Historians, there might be some mystery
Kings wants to control the people that were weak and poor
This is how anarchy really began to soar
Deceit and revenge on the King’s mind
A battle in forces all combined
But because of being scornful, Ancient Rome was weakened and crumbled to their own destruction full of devastation
It was the end of Ancient Rome being Heaven’s creation.

America’s Slavery of Black Men and Women beyond compare
Flesh was beaten hard until blood poured from many strikes
The Plantation Owners were using that as their strength in might
But the Slaves prayed that One day, Freedom will be their Guiding Light
Bitter Winds and Angry Revelation
The Struggle between Good and Evil became a separation
The Guiding Light came, and Civil Rights Movement became a Freedom Voice.

Innovations upon Innovations, Man wanted to fly
It was experiments after another in try
No matter what, it meant strapping on wings on arms and attempt to fly
Into the air you say, it was more like touch down
Because the experiments always came to hitting the ground
Failure often was the takeoff, but of course things just didn’t land as hoped
No, the inventors weren’t dopes
It was back to the drawing board with a new way to cope
So a new theory was instituted with engineering in making large structures with the ability to fly
Technology had truly advanced
This became the Inventor’s chance and became their stance
The thirst for flying in the air was now welcome to the Friendly skies
This is not from a former commercial from United Airlines being an advertise
This was only word to the wise.

America discovered ranging from the West Coast to the East Coast
How the West was won
Western Movies always portrayed Sheriff and the Bad Guys with Indians
It was the great frontier
This was how America was able to preserver
Towns became cities
Horses were replaced with cars, buses and trucks
Back roads were now highways
Distance lands were brought closer
People were connected being communities
In fact, there was unity
Hello Ms. America and pleased to meet you Mr. America
Shades of Race assortments spread throughout the country
My Country Tis Of Thee, but it involves even today being you and me.

Imagine an Icon of America’s history being the Greyhound Bus
It started out by two Inventors as a car
The operations was a small commute not really going that far
Popularity of the open road and the door to bus travel
Distance was extended
Greyhound Bus Lines became a Major Ground Transportation Carrier in North America
It was State by state with town after town
Go Greyhound and you yourself will be bound

This was only a brief history line by line
You might have history in your own family combined
So there’s my version of a history lesson past
It was advancement throughout that came fast
But it is now a remembrance that will last
History being determined in proof
All this while I was in my youth.
