History, a disease of remembrance

History, a disease of remembrance,
For one sweet memory,
A hundred sour ones surface,



History a disease of remembrance,
For one person met,
A hundred are forgotten,

History a disease of remembrance,
For one nation leads and follows
Yet everyone leads,



History a disease of remembrance,
Cultures and vultures,
Thrive and die,
Are reborn and rebuilt,




For History is a disease of remembrance
Unfailingly repeating its course in human hands,
Nature and time march on,
Indifferent of memories or civilisations,



History a disease of remembrance
Leads on and yet is forgotten..
For History is a disease of remembrance
Yet, this too shall pass
