History is a narrative,
tomes written by the victors,
stories bequeathed to us children
who merely play
among the cast offs of giants.
We inheritors
Our shacks around palaces
Digging in the dirt

I always wonder how wrong the history books really are. I have heard, for instance, George Washington was actually not the first US president. Kind of a big one! Great poem thank you for sharing it.

Thank you! Yes, I don’t we can take anything for granted any more. Question everything perhaps.
