A Poem

History

Is more than just dusty, rusty pages

About crooked princes, queens and kings,

Or victims chained in cruel and cold prison cages.

History

Is more than the mystery

Of wars, other mighty causes

And painful pauses

For great black plagues and fires.

History

Is also your small yesterday and mine.

It is our own comic and our curious.

It is what made us small folk

Fearful, fierce or furious.

History

Is the blended thread

That binds the living to the dead.

John Kitching
