Trying To Revise For Ancient History Exam

TRYING TO REVISE FOR ANCIENT HISTORY EXAM What if Darius had beaten Alexander? The outcome would have been a mystery Such supposing makes me wonder About the blank unwritten pages of history Scan the book and each dog-eared leaf Try to recall why some words are yellow Search the notes in my untidy sheaf I’m a casual-sower/chaotic-harvester fellow I should have gone over the Romans again of course And maybe studied the maps Oh, what about those Greeks and their wooden horse? Or the burning of Troy perhaps? Seeds of war, four horsemen strewn - Ramses and Moses full of anger and rage - Tomorrow begin their battle at nine, but at noon Defeat is written across my blank page.
