Looking back at old history text books in an antiquarian book shop made me draw breath and led me to put pen to paper.
History tells of men of old
History tells of men of old
Of ways and
means they bought and sold.
Their lives
and the way they look
Are stated
in the history book.
The ways the
world was run
And how
their battles were fought and won,
The good and
bad of kings and queens,
The Germans
with their evil schemes,
The way the
Jews were hated
And how
their plans were fated.
Life back then is judged and told
But only
through facts as they unfold.
One man’s
view is not another's
Nor one
man’s truth, that of-his brothers
