History
Blood, pain and games
Down the desert wastes of history;
A struggle
For wealth and power
Where the winners
Write the wrongs
And most
Just disappear.
History:
To slay, torture and desire,
With impunity,
In a game
That has no rules;
Where compassion
Is a stranger.

History is no more than a record of the wealthy and powerful in their ridiculous games; tales of intrigue and cruelty, greed, passion and fury in which ordinary lives are of no consequence.
It is peppered with violence and ruled by the worst of human nature.
History is a record of our failure.
