RE: Dead Poem's Society, Week Two, Contest and Community Building
I liked your poem, @momzillanc.
One can tell the speaker is against canonic historical knowledge, and this reiteration is ironic, for he/she knows the answer already:
Tell me about it…Tell me more…
Tell me… tell me… tell me, please
Historians have always been quite subjective and often have responded to interests of third parties and powerful rulers, to name some. What would it be like to be told the real history? I guess we can only write fictions about it and speculate (which is rather interesting if you ask me).
I guess that’s why they say “the winners write the history books.” But, the real history cannot ever be completely erased. The earth itself will – sooner or later – reveal forgotten truths. Eventually, in the face of all the mendacious “winners” try to obfuscate, “The truth will out.”
