As i walk through these ruins
From a land long ago
My inquisitive mindwanders
To and Fro
If these walls could talk
The stories they could tell
Of times so good and not so well
Of plans and schemes
to replace kings and queens
of battles long ago
Of marriages of convience
Or forbidden romance
Under a mistletoe
Mans need of greed
with Power as its seed
As they waited for their hour
for fortune and fame
Playing a dangerous political game
the defeated had to go
To the dungeons for treason
what was the real reason
for going down below
unwritten history
That makes the story a mystery
Things they didn't want us to know
For history is a mystery
written for the victor
So we will never know
Oh, if these walls could talk
unwritten history That makes the story a mystery Things they didn't want us to know yesssssss history is a mystery written for the victor i liked this last very much. how very true. you have a powerful observation and you percieve things which normally no one thinks. thankyou dear poet. tony
