Rewritten history

False hoods recorded 

Narratives are claimed

All rights reserved

No wrongs afforded

Acclimated to what's spoken

Withdraw all that's free

Speech is affiliated

Sounding out quietly

Loud and brash

Our spoken word 

That's a tall tale

Realities unheard 

Visions boxed 

Then tuned in

Frequently asked

Lesser more misguiding 

Historical content 

Conseptulized 

This rewritten history 

Will tell you its revised

    great write! thanks for sharing
    please forgive me
    for attempting a scribbled poetic reply below
    I couldn't resist:
    (Victors, inking insidiously hollow futures
    where aftermath bequeaths, consequence
    and mantra, regresses empathy 's influence
    so new-born's, learn to tighten their fist's
    before, they open their eyes
    then cry out loud, screaming at the fallacy
    of walls and roof's, an explosion
    removed
    from becoming hell on earth, bricks
    of empire ruins...
    yet, parent's smile upon a miracle
    as representative of all the hope
    they surrendered when entering
    adulthood's, scam of subservience
    fitting-in, in a society, anchored
    upon drug and alcohol, concussed
    mirage, interpretations
    of reality's inevitability of cyclical
    strife;
    while older generations, stare up
    at that indifferent universe
    and wonder, to what end?
    is there really, no better way
    if, this be by design
    and if
    by chaotic chance alone, why
    must the dice, land
    on one's
    time n again, when
    can we get a win
    that's not a forsaken precursor
    to our ensuing demise?
    please, anyone - anything
    just answer me this...!?)

      Very well laid out attempt at scribe. No forgiveness necessary

      And what passes for truth not worth a candle after that (your poem)
      Here are my takes on History, for what they are worth:

      (Deep history is a concept very few here seem to understand. Not what is happening in the here and now, but how the conflict occurred, from way back.)

      Regards, Dave

      Thank you. It only takes a few lines and the world goes chaotic, all because mass indoctrination is totally invisible and flies under what social media uses as its platform. Genius if it wasn't so dismissal don't you think?
