TALES OF HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY

Geography and history as space and time’s barometer,
Speak and record their nature and culture.
Space speaks for itself in geography,
Time speaks about others in historical calligraphy.
Geography narrates earth’s beauty,
History speaking when and how this beauty has lost purity.
Good geography at times breeds bad history
Bad Geography often nurtures a good history which may seem a mystery.
A country abounding in bad terrain
Remains out of enemy’s greedy eyes enjoying power sovereign
A land with unfavorable Geography
Hardly attracts alien’s envy.
Let us speak of the human being,
For them what do history and Geography sing?
The themes of their songs do not change
Man somehow survival manage
History tells wars were not for the land
But for the sake of damsels hand.
The tale of the damsel’s body Geography
Makes wild the conquerors everybody would agree
Good Geography of a lady’s body speaks high of her
Then traps and temptations make her history bitter.
History and Geography sow seeds of each other,
Trading on paths opposite to each other.
About friends of ABC I am unaware of their history and Geography,
But to my hearts’s content I enjoy their poetry.
