history

[mnaz]

history is like jesus,
treasured by many, murdered by few.
stare at it, polish it, like a mirror.
those who don't know are doomed to repeat its mistakes,
and those who know could well reinvent them.

[Arcadia]

"and those who know could well reinvent them" : auch!

[Sober Duck]

Thus history repeats itself
Time and time again
Will we ever learn
Reliving, reliving, reliving
reinvent, reliving will cease

[joel]

I followed home an innocent
for nothing else than home to find.
I followed home an innocent
who really didn’t seem to mind
that I unbidden followed, kind
of proud, unhidden. One divined
I followed home, an innocent
for nothing else than home to find.

[~K]

history
is like a whore
giving up pearls
for the ocean floor
we reinvent
their worth
when we
remember
beauty is
relative

Nice moralizing-- without all the Vaseline ( of the right wing fundamentalists), mnaz.

History is a cold cash agenda.
Cut. Paste. Erase.

Pharisees lorded over us,
and Presidents lord on.
Their lies become ours,
and so it goes..
