Historical Histrionics

Historical Histrionics The past, alas, cannot be deleted old scars camouflage denial’s guise history’s mistakes are oft repeated when reformation seeks a darker prize erasure of memories, however bleak, cloaked within the silence of hates roar drowning out of voices lest they speak of truths encased within a living core. The future, alas, cannot be completed forsaking the sad lessons of the past nor forgotten enemies defeated waging battles within self structured castes. Would we burden our children with such hate condemn them to relive unchanging fate? ©9/2/2017 submitted to - EARLY SEPTEMBER PREMIERE CONTEST -
