We’ve Been Here

Before-

I recognise it,

Yes, am sure,

this was the place

where we were before!

Yes, just here,

where, in the name of

colour, creed, and culture,

we had lost our humanness,

and had killed and maimed

those “different” to us, afore,

banishing them

along with our humanity!!

It was this place,

where we had said

Never again!

I’m sure!

Where we had vowed to never return!!

And that’s where we are today!

Once again, back to this

aforementioned time, and place,

and its lure!

And it was here, where

we had said

we will never be!!

We understand that future shouldn’t be a repetition of our follies of the past.

So, if we want to create a different world, why do we still keep on repeating history?

Is it some deliberate amnesia that we suffer from?
