History lesson

There are those who defend

Statues and book from the past,

Saying they reflect our history

And that history must last,

They encourage us to read the books

That speak of halcyon days,

But what these fuckers don’t do

Is identify and explain,

That history is written by the victors

Who build that history on propaganda and lies,

Well I don’t fucking buy this

So I choose to use my own mind,

And anything I read I research

And I then read between the lines,

And as a result I see the shame the horror and the lies

Slavery in Africa and in India genocide,

This is what was carried out to build Britain’s great Empire,

And America has done the same as too most other countries

So there is nobody who can sit in judgement

As they share the same shameful history in truth.

What Australia and New Zealand did to the indigenous natives was so wrong,

Just like in America who chose to sing the same fucking song,

So don’t tell me history teaches us lessons

And they they ensure thatvwe don’t repeat them,

When barely a fucking year goes by with war, death and killing,

I won’t be part of anything, that glorifies the wrong of past generations,

I’d rather focus on teaching love, peace and kindness in children’s education,

So fuck your so called proud history, it’s all built on lies and hypocrisy,

I can smell the bullshit that you’re trying to force into me.
