Emotions tangled
Meshed through time
Lessons taught
Often thought fine

Decisions made
By our own minds
Change the course of nature
Disrupts the steady tides

Written on parchment
Epics from life
Coloring each thought
Sometimes stopped by knife

Ideas challenged by thought
Answered swift by reaction
Grouped by views and faith
Life by faction

History decides
What becomes of us
Smooth black lines
Shown beyond dust
