Repeating History
history times spoken to teach
educate
when the pages run red
the colour of denial
we only listen to words that self-medicate
becoming alight
with the fire of rabid hate
ignorance never really
truly
abates
the words a warning
heed what they say
a message for those that think they have
a rightful stake
a message for those living
living
for today
but all they do is just take
take
take
come join in the chorus don’t sing out of tune
living inside the spun
snugly cocoon
never
no never
take one step out of line
now the curtain cloaks
the one true divine
2x2
repeat
then sign
now is a different time
we live in such
a different place
as the pages begin to shadow
then fade
till once again they see brightness
of the day
so how far have we actually roamed
upon this road we are on
walking in a mindless zombie stun
we never seem to
run
run
run
