Living History
Memories of ancient times
Bring us lessons as were told
On stone and papyrus sheets
Left in temples made of gold.
We take the lessons given us
Our cultures brought thru time
One generation to another
Hopefully leaving hate behind.
We build the fabric of our world
With history as our only guide
Will our lessons be well learned
Or in ignorance set aside.
