History's mystery

I sit on my bed and wonder,

Why the kings did commit blunders?

I try pretty hard but cannot understand,

Why can’t we free ourselves from these strands?

 

Was it our fault that the British made colonies?

Or they committed such crude atrocities?

Was it us who asked the French to conquer other regions?

Why are we forced to study all, nobody knows the reasons.

 

Now they justify this by stating such things,

All this will make us wise and knowledge will it bring,

Studying all this will warn us not to repeat the same mistakes,

But why can’t they understand that gone are those days?

 

We study so that we can become something in life,

And be successful and reach places so high.

But by mugging up all that, will it do any good?

For we will forget everything in a day or two.

 

It is indigestible for me to study history,

For I found tat subject so miffing and creepy.

The hatred for it in me is so immense,

The need to study it is and will always be a suspense.
