History Poem by JAAFAR SADIG EL WAAD

History has nothing to do with happenings
It rather starts with burnt tents exiled men
Stolen treasure raped women leaving nix
But trampled dreams and broken creeds
Here it's at the onset of a family breakdown
With the kith and kin driven East and North
While a stranger is made heir to the throne
and crown the siblings kept particles of the
ancestors' unrecorded history praiseworthily
depicted cherished polished memories of a
present of a gift of suffering governed by
past loftiness when life ought to go on anyway
