MIRROR OF THE WORLD
MIRROR OF THE WORLD
Strolling on the beach
Listening soft music of the waves
Calm ringlet waves play around my feet
I'm touched by the humility
Of voyage and vastness of sea
High tide of the sea
Turns calm waves into ferocious reptiles
Ready to destroy everything around
Just like history part of it known
And lots of it unknown
Stories of past happenings
Written on stones by early humans
Before the writing began
Herodotus the father of history
Wrote down first chronicle
Of that time in 5th Century BC
History's ship is an inquiry
Continuously cruising over
Social, political and religious happenings
Of the people who make history
While living through it
History an evolutionary reference
For shaping future
It may not be laughter, love and happiness always
It bleeds when people die
Under the covers of politics
Religions and social injustice
History searches
For goodness and purity
Of the heart, heads and actions
Carries all
The best and the worst
History becomes
A mirror of the world
Of the known
And the unknown
