Repeating History's Mistakes Poem by Chris Embrick

Why do men repeat history's mistakes
Because evil men love prestige, power, might
Twisted minds leave their souls to spread the blight
In every age cruel despots, they wake
Reprobate minds always suppress the light
Why do men repeat history's mistakes
Because evil men love prestige, power, might
Silence the weak, kill those they cannot break
Millennia of war and still the plight
Another Mao, Pol Pot, Amin to fight
Why do men repeat history's mistakes
Because evil men love prestige, power, might
Twisted minds leave their souls to spread the blight.


Epilogue:

The world will never know peace as long as
evil men exist. Only a spiritual solution will
bring true peace. Politics is merely a platform
on which the battle between good and evil is played out.
