1028 A USE FOR THE TIME I HAVE LEFT 09-24-21

I’ve not much time left.

I figure fifteen years,

twenty at best.

But during now and

THAT,

my days will be spent searching

for answers to the question

“Did everything that’s happened

really happen like that?

Was Gandhi

just a stubborn kaffir boy

slamming himself

against British brave hearts?

Was Jesus

just an average Jew

doing what

some Bedouwin wanderer

might have been able to do?

Was Manifest Destiny

a racist excuse

for the biggest land grab in history,

natives be damned?

Can our History

as it is told

be altogether

wrong?

Yep.

Gonna find out those answers.
