History teaches us multiple things
It teaches us:
Think about the time lost.
Decide your point of view
Don't be Arrogant
To not feel as if everything that is our nations past is all good,
or all bad
or all boring
or all sad
History teaches us the importance
of learning from our mistakes
And knowing that sometimes it repeats itself
In a downwards spiral
Issues that then turn up in poetry,
books, newspapers,
television, radio
Even hidden in the streets, the inside of concrete tunnel walls
In the form of graffiti
