History

break down the world
look at the past
examine the present
and predict the future

smile at opportunities
take life seriously
don't be afraid to
take risks

think of the past
the wars, the victories
racism and equality
think about it.

break down the word.
his-story
our story
man's story

our lives
are our stories
the past is a big book
with many chapters, many pages.

now think of the present.
our world today.
the lives we live,
the choices we make.

think of the future
how we affect it
how we shape it
how we mold it

history
in the making
our lives are history
our story
man's story
