Teaching History

Instead of teaching results, hopes and dreams

We should teach beginning and end

Each civilization, nation, kingdom, for all of history

So simple just teach it once, and finished

Déjà Vue all over again

Outline: Revolution, establish rule, self indulge and glorify, establish cronies, take 
more than you need, become top heavy, disenfranchise more and more from the 
bottom, revolution…repeat ad infinitum. 

Refer to Einstein’s definition of insanity following…”endlessly repeating the same 
process and hoping for different results.”
