History-A Bundle of Lies
What is Today
Shall be History tomorrow
All that comes
Shall ultimately Go.
Who was born
When was born
Where was born
What he did
How he did
When did he do
Where did he do
All shall be recorded
In books of history
Historians some
Could be contemporary
And many shall write
Later on.
One will write
Some have'nt written
Before
Others will rest their accounts
On past tellers
Value adding it
Some will say
Milton was blind
Others will say
He was only myopic!
Many agree
Shakespear was British
Yet a few still doubt
He was an Arab Sheikh!
Some will pen down
Horrors of War,
Rule by Kings and Queens,
Tyrants, Dictators, Sultans
And Saints and Prophets,
The stories of their Rise and Fall
But them never having seen 'em all themselves
But they will insist
Such and such never happened
Or
If happened but not that way
The way of the other Historians
History, some say
Is a Bundle of Lies
But I will say
History is a turning Wheel
Which keeps rotating
Eternally
From one point to another
In Space and Time
Without a dwell
Some might be alive to see
It Turning Right
But later Generations
Using the art of Semantics,
Critical Thinking, Logic
And the magic of Imagination
Will blow their Own Horn
And Declare
That it turns Left.
