History by oracle009(m): 7:29pm On Sep 14, 2015
A bygone
A time gone
Moments that cannot be undone
So long they've occur like barrel of gun
Yet they itch the ears as sounds of gong
Marks they left, no man can scorn
Pressures they mount, no where to run
'coz they are the sound of time gone
Echoes of past runs
Today, they ring in our head
In our hearts, they roll like storms
Our feet, they hurt like thorns
History! Who can deny your cons
For they beat high like Swahili drums



****************************************


Times above, yet below
Dead they are, yet they bellow
Gone, but not left to rest and lie low
Its voices so loud and high as eye brow
Like ceaseless streams it flow
Today, they cause a row
Tomorrow, they give a role
To some, they give coal
As a boost for their strolls
To others, they give a stroke
Making them as rigid and glued as a pole
'coz it is history
And that is what it knows to do
History! Who can deny your dooms
For they echoe as voices in empty rooms

History has always been written by tyrants/dictators, people who have often oppressed and killed heros.

Its a wonderful poem. Nice work.
