According to History
January 29, 2022
According to history
I can’t have what I want.
I wish for peace,
A place of safety,
But according to history,
Peace only comes from war,
And I don’t want war.
According to history
I can’t have what I want.
I wish for justice,
Truth above all,
But according to history,
Justice is enacted through war,
And I don’t want war.
According to history
I can’t have what I want.
I wish for freedom,
Chances and choices,
But according to history,
Freedom comes after war,
And I don’t want war.
According to history
I can’t have what I want,
There is only war.
