The Ink Pen of History
History should happen in pen of ink,
not pencil of lead.
It must not be erased, or hyper-spaced,
or gently changed by those who think
their own wishes instead.
We often say, "It is what it is,"
and fully believe that to be true.
If that is the case, "It was what it was,"
is also true too.
Yesterday's lessons cannot go unlearned
unless we succumb to the fear of the past.
Today's bravery is to look into the face
of the cancel culture and say,
"We renounce you," at last!
