HISTORY FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH

History is a story
Of events of battles fought
Of people lived of people lost
Only the winners told
What part they played

It is always the winner’s tale
Of how the battles and events fought
Painted sorrows and tears of the suffering
Until redemption came to spread good cheers

Battles were fought
On different opinion and ideology
Of power to protect its own
Of the oppressed unwilling to let go
Of the rights each believes is legal
Until blood spilled pounding on the ground

On that moment
History is told
Of the good and bad decision
Protecting rights fought amongst themselves
Brewing each own ideology
Never wanted to compromise
Of deception and unwilling to accept
That winner took all

History for what it is worth
Learn it don’t repeat again
For the sorrows and tears
When life is lost
