History Repeats Itself
By Franklin Price
9/2/2017

History repeats itself, whenever we forget.
It may take a century, or maybe more, and yet,
It will most likely happen, if a person caused it then,
For humans in their nature, will try it once again.

Whether it worked then, or not, doesn't matter much
Ignorance of  history, keeps such people out of touch.
If Pearl Harbor never happened, and the holocaust the same
Why should we pay attention to how others play the game

Strength always drives the tendencies of power hungry men
Let all the history be damned, let's try this once again
There's no one there to stop me, no one's watching out for me
They're comfortable with what they have,  ignoring history that will be.

The U.S.A.'s the richest and most powerful on Earth
Have had the highest morals since our founders gave it birth
We fought for independence and a civil cause or two
Cannot forget our history for we've shaped the world anew.

We must all work together, and not tear us all asunder
Can't forget the Civil War that almost put us under
We're all again the U.S.A. and slavery was beat
Don't dine on the thought of that, for we are what we eat.

African Americans are now not slavery bound
Opportunities are much the same for everyone around
Constantly reminding all, will keep your efforts fraught
You're free to do whatever, you should not be sold or bought

Likewise the white Americans are not the best of all
To think so show's your ignorance, does not prepare you for the fall
As long as we the people, do not fight the fight together
We're in for more of what we have; unrelenting stormy weather.

So let us work together, all races and all creeds.
To find a way to provide for all, at least to satisfy our needs
For more than that, we're on our own, our efforts will prevail 
If you find your boat is sinking, it is your job to bail.
