History Lesson
if we look at history
over the long haul
the clearest common
denominators are these
powerful cultures decline
powerful cultures die
thus our own decline
should surprise no one
and wishful thinking will not
keep the dream alive
what is unfortunate
what is new
is that now we can take
so many others with us
I won't be here to learn
if we do or not
I'm happy to miss
the end game
in the meantime
I hold tight onto
the people I love
the things I treasure
and I cherish the time
I spend with my dog
because more than anyone
my dog makes me
laugh
