History-A Bundle of Lies

What is Today Shall be History tomorrow All that comes Shall ultimately Go. Who was born When was born Where was born What he did How he did When did he do Where did he do All shall be recorded In books of history Historians some Could be contemporary And many shall write Later on. One will write Some have'nt written Before Others will rest their accounts On past tellers Value adding it Some will say Milton was blind Others will say He was only myopic! Many agree Shakespear was British Yet a few still doubt He was an Arab Sheikh! Some will pen down Horrors of War, Rule by Kings and Queens, Tyrants, Dictators, Sultans And Saints and Prophets, The stories of their Rise and Fall But them never having seen 'em all themselves But they will insist Such and such never happened Or If happened but not that way The way of the other Historians History, some say Is a Bundle of Lies But I will say History is a turning Wheel Which keeps rotating Eternally From one point to another In Space and Time Without a dwell Some might be alive to see It Turning Right But later Generations Using the art of Semantics, Critical Thinking, Logic And the magic of Imagination Will blow their Own Horn And Declare That it turns Left.
