History’s Keen Eye

Posted on by Khaya Ronkainen / 4 Comments

Faint echoes of the past linger —
Ghostly wails haunt the present
as history’s keen eye judges
deeds both dark and bright.
Time’s impartial voice prevails
and reveals truth in its verdict.
It’s astonishing how humankind
fails to learn from experience!

Prompt 24. History will be the judge, for Write Right @Thotpurge

    Yes, indeed!
    BTW: You’re really rocking the NaPoWriMo challenge, Khaya!

  3. Thank you, Laura for your vote of confidence. I admit though, writing a poem everyday is not easy but I’ll fail trying… 😀

Do leave a trace!
