History Repeats Itself Poem by Richard Jarboe

Hank Williams Jr. sings about Hank's family tradition,
He sings it with the fever of a man on a mission,
Now look around at our current condition,
History repeats itself.

We're short on the front end,
So we pay big on the back,
We've seen it all before and this is a fact,
History repeats itself.

Just fill a name in the blank,
And make a note of the date,
The rest of the paragraph remains the same,
History repeats itself.

The loser today wins tomorrow,
Time changes everything,
Poverty is the result of wealth,
History repeats itself.

Jut fill in the name,
The rest is the same,
It's hard to get out of this plot,
History repeats itself.
