Obvious Now

gumshoe robbing history of clues
looking for what could have been the perfect crime
among the runes and metaphorical muses
the knowledge i now have has lead me to no ultimate conclusions

Looking with hindsight to what the world has done right
finding the fingers of centuries pointing at the same flaws

consequently amazed
what could i say
you were the ones telling me
all along
