HISTORY

HISTORY

History, herstory
Is history
Masculine or?
Common gender?

Can we refer
To events?
As herstory ?

Story is common
Gender

Don’t want to
Sound pedantic
Just want us
To pose and think

History does not only
Relate to the past
Is not merely accounts
Of personalities?
Places and events
But a record of
The past, the present

And projection
To the future

Current events shape
Our daily lives
We all have to play roles
In shaping our destiny
As a productive shape

Is not a solitary
Personality
But totality of people
Who can make history

Armaments
24 hours, digital media
The internet

Can either distort
Or accurately
Reflect our world

Scientific
And medical discoveries

Debates
On climate change
Can make and
Or unmake our societies

First, second
and third world
Terms bestowed
To us by Academicians

Can’t explain
What has happened
And is happening

Don’t want
To sound pedantic
Just want us
To pose and think
