history

8 June 2006 at 3:34 am (1970, Poetry, Undated)

i'll never under
	        stand them
they make us learn history
and wonder
	  why we rebel
		      at seeing
all those mistakes
	          being made
		            all over again

i'll never under
	        stand them
they make us learn history
and get
       all uptight
                  over sex education
they should
            thank god
                     for sex education
it's safer
          than history

    Here is another version of this poem:

    history

    i’ll never understand them
    they make us learn history
    we read about all the mistakes mankind has made
    then they wonder why we protest at seeing
    all those mistakes being made all over again

    i’ll never understand them
    they make us learn history
    and get all uptight over sex education
    they should thank god for sex education
    it’s safer than history
