History Is A Ghost Poem by Chester Maynes

History Is A Ghost



The woods are dark and calm
Some demons are quietly playing
When some years ago
A child was drawn to his game

His spoon was late after six p.m.
He smelt like the ground
Leaves on his back
There was a birth of remorse

History is a ghost
Of many dreadful accounts
Yesterday is unalterable
We gain and we lose
