If you look at history
It is just the rich being documented
Because they could afford to
Spend so much time and money
On being documented
The poor are forgotten while the rich man's pet
Is more significant than his slave
Or the man on Old Ironsides
Being sent to battle by a rich man
Designed fabrics so clean and beautiful
Stained rags ripped and torn
A man on the horse
Wearing exhausting armor
A man in the castle
Eating chicken dumplings
When you look at todays world
It is pretty much the same
We use different materials
I once asked a history teacher
Why do we learn history
He replied with
So we can learn from the past
What have we learned
Nothing Has Changed
