Quatrain of Short History
Short History - remember what went
before you
For many, history only goes back
a day or two, it's why their
arguments shift like
sand,
If you point out they are wrong
they bring up historical facts
that are simply sleight of
hand.
When you have no memory of
yesterday, you tend to think
a grand idea is a new
event,
But God knows, mankind is worse
off because your thoughts
are historically
bent.
