history books
April 26, 2016
with every turn of the page
getting closer to the past
the heroism and the heartbreak
of a world we've never met
with lessons to teach us
unfathomable events that we can feel
understand and appreciate
through their words and our thoughts
with the skimming of a chapter
we can know years in seconds
lives and deaths in paragraphs
the knowledge of a lifetime in a book
