Lessons from History
The most that people remember
From history,
Is the bloody wars of Kings and
Strangers.
These fights and quarrels never seem
To touch on real life.
But history is not just about
Fighting.
It can also be about struggling
Against adversity.
Putting yourself out on a limb
And eventually winning.
Early rulers rose up from
Nothing,
They had to stick to things,
Persist.
Keep going even when others
Thought that they were mad.
That is a lesson from
History.
To keep on seeking what you
Desire.
To hold on for glory against
Great odds.
Then you can succeed, just
As the Kings did.
