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.
