Know History To Progress! Poem by Ramesh T A

To know who we are, we leaf through the pages of history;
If the history itself is vague and incredible, how can we
Decipher our origin, forefathers or race for sure ever...?

Findings of archeology and the mythical history are varying,
But the literary history only gives some clues to know past
And that only can be taken to have a theoretical history of us!

Only the classical epics of the past and our present culture
Reveal many things we instinctively believe sans any proof
Or evidence physically available and hence history is a bore!

Even then, history cannot be neglected, though it's theoretical
And try to form conviction about it to have a rough idea of
Our Self and basing which we can go ahead further with hope..!

Knowing our origin from ancient history, we can avoid same
Mistakes done earlier to reform to be better citizens forward!
