I Have Problem With History
History repeats itself I’m told
Amateur historian I may be
but I can stand on two legs
and speak some facts in history.
Natural forces can make history
Natural forces can repeat history
Man can make history
Man can repeat history
Divine hand can repeat history
Divine hand can repeat history
but I have a problem with history
I am told by big minds
that history repeats itself!
can history create history?
can history repeat history?
Philosophers tell me today.
I have a view- reject it, take it
Not all human acts are historical
human acts that form history
as conceived and documented
by the historian
can be repeated by men
the uneducable men
who cannot learn lessons of history.
