Thoughts from a Troubled Historian

Or ”Water Down the Drain”

Let’s cosplay The Revolution! We’ve seen it on T.V.

Right there on the “News is Entertainment” channel.

Or did we see it at the movies

Where the Good Guys always win.

But Wait! Who is that Good Guy?

Does he build things up

Or break things down?

Does he do it in the country

Or only downtown?

Maybe it starts at 88 years

Say 1776 or 1864.

Maybe it dies at 250 years,

But will anyone miss it when it’s gone?
