Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it

Those who know their history are doomed to watch others repeat it,

Those who ignore history are doomed to be the victim of times changing

Those who teach history are blessed to watch students grow.


People will reap what they sow

Those who burn and loot will be burned and looted,

Those who suppress, will be suppressed

Those who only want to watch growth, shall grow.


Through trial, people shall grow

The widow will learn to treasure her children,

The homeless will learn to survive

The broken will learn to love.


The common people of the world are treasures

They will hate to learn how to love,

They will destroy to learn to create

And they will grow,

They will always grow.
