History is not just political '

It may be affected by political acts.? Yet a
History of relevant fact, is what was done
Under the sun.' In recounting of its gristle
And bristles? Why are hackles raised.? Why
Are heckles made.? Why shout about odds.
If the numbers aren't stacked.'
 Its what it is
Or is for some? That the rub.' If its not that
Malleble.? Then they show not love.' 
Although in the halls of power, are virtues
Touted, in a (  broad aside ) they 
are quite usually, and most wilfully flouted.'
