Past

It was the history in the books that made us wonder

The children read while it thundered

From the soldiers of Spain to the flag of America,

No one taught them to ask what was real.



While we built our neo-civilizations upon this

And government thrived with this

No one ever wondered if it was true,

We just thought of a rationalization;

For it we used.



And now we have a land of promise,

Built on myth and last dying wishes

While we absorb what we think we need

And absorb what we dont even see.



There will come a time soon, in fact,

Where all will be told in tact,

No more text and philosophy.

Just truth that was taken forgranted

In a world of blind peoples sight.
