Uncle History still grieves over Herodutus
Who recited his work at the first Olympics
How the crowd roared hearing him
So what he didn’t tell the truth?
Fascinations and mysteries
Always motivate men
They’ll go to war
When the lies are colorful
You know, the Persian War
Began with the abduction
Of goddesses
Pushing soldiers to fight
Always requires hallucinations
“The good old days” uncle thinks
All those Athenians
Seeing things
That weren’t there
“The good old days…”
