Historical Blunders

What if history, as we know it,
is full of blunders…even lies?

Spring of joy – summer of love.
Stormy autumn, then winter so cold.
Through the ages, - eternal time,
seasons of wither and seasons in prime.
Nature’s pantomime…or illusion sublime?
Well, - either way…

History, as we know it is our written heritage.
A cornerstone for knowledge and evolution, page by page.

Future expectations grow on past and present cues.
Tomorrow’s revolution mirrors yesterday’s review.

Teachers and preachers have told us that
fact is a fact, - no matter…
Dealers and healers have sold us
lie after lie, - for that matter…
Just what it is, - and always has been.
Just as it is, - and always will be…

Allow me to rewrite history. Nothing major, - just a twist.
But how would such minor changes have a  ected
our post-historical understanding?
Well, - imagine if…

Moses was in Egypt’s land,
dealing ten commandments at a second-hand.
They’d bargain both state and fee,
then Moses walked home with only three.

Young David gazed at Goliath, the giant.
Courageous “dandy”, narcissistic – defi ant.
The stone fl ew with an awful hiss.
Bad aim, oh - what a miss!

These, and below examples indicate that even smallest
historical blunders would have, - and always will change
the shape of things to come.

What if Caesar never crossed the Rubicon?
Or Joan of Arc was someone’s only son?
What if Judas, - really was the faithful one?
And that guy Chapman never aimed his gun?
Our legacy renewed from a di  erent point of view.

What if history, as we know it, is all full of blunders?
What if history, as we write it, is still full of blunders, - even lies?
What if history of tomorrow is built on
small conscious errors, blunders and lies…

What is our origin – where do we go…
Is the past at peace with a future unknown?

Cause life goes on, - no matter.
We can’t change the past,
but tomorrow will come…
