Throughout our lives
We are told what happened in the past,
Why wars were fought,
Why people died,
Died for the common good.
But what we need to realise
Is that history is written by the winners,
What if the losers were right!

Reminds me of Cuba with the somewhat distorted interpretation of events which seems to be accepted in the west. A so-true write Andy.
Thank you Michael.

The alchemists are out there.
what if, now that is an interesting proposition if ever there was...
What if? The most unanswered question of them all.
What if the losers were right? Wherever we in the world we are surrounded by history. Take every city there is in every corner of the world and you'll here a different voice, language, culture, people, but must remember some of the most beautiful places on Earth are shrouded by their beauty and its grace. History is a word normally too easy to use, but if you study it then the perspectives change incredibly. I try not to blame the past in anything I've ever done and that goes for the planet too. History is a beautifully important wealth of knowledge in which we should clearly see the mistakes we have made. There is no going backwards in history to attempt to change it. It's happened and so will change happen in the future, also. Learn from the future, and sometimes the past. the future always seems to come so quickly so hurry up and make change for it. Its where the laws of physics belong ever growing stronger. If you look at the beauty intrinsically into your own meaning of life then life will ease up and help us along the paths we walk to in the coming years.
Thank you for your brilliant reply Kevin.
Of course there is knowledge in history and it has shaped our present lives. The history that we are leaving behind in our present will be there for those in the future to study and wonder at.
