History Lessons

All that ahs been seen
has long been forgotten
all that has been learned
has proven useless
Blood still spills
people still watch others die
war has yet to teach
or we have yet to see
and learn
History tells of the cries of millions
so many slaughtered
in the name of what,
to prove whois right?
