History Repeating Itself

Why did twice become two times? Does anyone know why? It doesn't make sense to me, No matter how I try To comprehend this change Is impossible for me I can't bend or rearrange Twice to two times And the necessity to do so That puzzles me. Why has the word history Stayed the same Has it refused to play The politically correct game History is sexist Whatever that word means Her story sounds wrong And too superior or supreme Their story would be too complex, There would be too much to say There would be questions, From others asking, "Who are they?" They are history, Tales of the past A word not to be tampered with One that will last Unless someone somewhere With not enough to do, And does not care May change the word And make history there.

History cannot be erased. It does not worry me. It's the future that does. History repeats itself. Blessings.

History should not be erased; although it may be revised, given enough evidence.
