Losing History

Losing History Buildings centuries old Part of our history They are who we are They still echo with voices Voices telling us who we were Now, they are neglected Left to rot under Summer rains The art within is lost The stories within the buildings are never told The memories of who built them fade They turn to dust as quickly as the buildings Now is the time to save history To let our childrens children know That we had a glorious history One to be remembered Not left to fie and rot They were always more than myths For good or bad they have to know one thing They were us
