History
History is
Chronological record
Of events, as of the life
Or development of a people or institution,
Often including an explanation of
Or commentary on those events
Also known as stuff that happened
From the beginning of time history
Has been developing as the stars did
A mass of nothing dipped in a hot molten core
Wrapped in gases and water
Two hydrogen mixed
With one oxygen
Combine to form
A substance
That without we would be nothing
With this simple combination a single cell
Then evolved into two cells
Then three,
To four
Water is where we come from
Fish like
With four inches of exoskeleton protecting
Soft simple organs
Fast-forward a few billion years
A couple ice ages
And uncounted amounted of extinctions later
We have not developed that much more
Still nothing more than a simple creature
With skin as thick as leather protecting
Organs
Not all of which have stayed as soft and pure
Some have hardened to protect
From those that do not get enough off the exterior
They slice open our leather skin to excavate
Mine our pure souls for all that we are
Like small trolls stomping
They slam tiny pick axes into our childhood and shovel out of dreams as though they were tainted soil
Tainted souls
Hoes delve into the things you thought your life would be
Terrorizing the fertile virginity of not knowing what’s to come.
Planting seeds of nightmares and depression
Pods of small demons that will haunt us for the rest of our lives pruning us back from the people we were meant to become
Flowers however
No longer grow in this garden
They are back in the garden from which they came from which we came
A garden we were shunned from for our natural instinct
Curiosity
A desire to know about people
Things that do not concern one;
History is
Chronological record
Of events, as of the life
Or development of a people or institution,
Nonsense.
