Poem: History's Judgment

It's so poetic

history repeats itself

no lessons are learned.
The very same mistakes are made
Time's judgments are forgotten.


"This cannot happen
We are better than this.
The past will stay there
This is a brand new future
and we have changed and evolved."


But the more things change
and the more things stay the same
People are people
with all their glorious flaws
and all of their true courage.


Strife and hardship comes
challenging the status quo
justice miscarried
establishment needs power
to enforce the old thinking.


Only much later
when history unfurls
and the results come
will we see who is right
and who is on the wrong side.
