All through our lives
We are told of things in the past,
The battles that have been fought
To get us where we are today.
Those who rule our lives
Exalt those who put them,
Put them where they are.
Praising them for winning,
For winning and creating a path.
A path where they now lead us,
Lead us into a life,
Where THEY think it is right,
They impose their ways on us all.
But just suppose,
Just suppose,
That in history the winners of battles
Got it wrong,
And the losers were right,
I wonder where we would be today?
