History's Philosophy Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

History's Philosophy



The past is history; history deals the past.
The past is an image which should relate
To the present for it to exist now.
Of that only relevant points will last.
That takes shape as desired by the present.
History is the product of the winners,
Built with facts edited, distorted or shut.
It is applicable to all the history.
(Thanks to Walter Benjamin)
