recent history . is easily forgotten . as it’s now the past
in recognizing . what came before, an homage . respects history
capturing what was . as nostalgia, history . becomes fantasy
a drop of water . passes, never to return . to the same river
ask those who’ve been there . stories are not just the facts . upon reflection
what was important . changes with time, becoming . just an afterthought
every footprint . tells a small story about . what we leave behind
memories remain . but the past feels different . than when it was new
recent history . should be the first reference . for future events
whatever happens . it rests on shared history . largely forgotten
