The Scrolls of Time

This feeling of control, may lead
    To power that's yet achieved.
With a corrupt history that records,
    Though many are deceived.

The administration of humanity, has
    Left its mark by a variety of scribes.
Along with numerous revisions,
    That coincide with all the bribes.

My interest lies in the future, and
    How it will record today's events.
As I wonder if it will see what I saw,
    Or will it be subjected to malcontents?

Whether through ignorance or stupidity,
    The vision of reality won't reach all.
Since a fog fabricated against truth,
    Shields the powerful against a fall.

Can the winds of justice arrive,
    Where this smoke can be blown away?
Leaving debris that's scattered & fractured,
    With truth surviving . . . tomorrow and today.
