History is writen
in the blood
not of heroes
but of the commoner.
History shows us
that a cycle is
inevitable; that
people will die.
History is written
not by the losers
but by the victors
making it biased.
History shows us
that on a battlefield
acts of valour
are not always remembered.
History is writen
to omit certain details
to hide certain truths
and certain horrors.
History shows us
that brave men die
so that others
may live
We make war
so that we might
live in peace.
Peace from what?
