Poetry: “Pages of History” by Jose Bernardo

half deaf guitarist

Pages of History

Pages of history
Black and white photography
Story lines don’t change
The cycle never breaks

News on the twitter feed
Bite size lives of amenity
The characters may change
But the plot remains the same

Pages of history
Struggle for uniformity
Tow the social line
It’s best to be desensitized

The past a great mystery
Rewrites an impossibility
The lines in the sand may change
But the plot remains the same

Pages of history
Holding us in captivity
Old feuds stand the test of time
Pious heinous crimes

Pages of history
Tell the stories of victory
The losers will always change
But the writers remain the same

Pages of history
But the pages ahead empty
Ad space already sold
It is all out of our control
