Why History Repeats Itself Poem by Qiniso Mogale

People seldom learn from the past
People refuse to learn from the past
That is why mistakes committed by past generations are repeated
That is why history repeats itself
Yes, that is why history repeats itself.

From history we learn how proud leaders were humbled
We learn how arrogant leaders were shamed
We learn how despotic leaders were destroyed
Today we have such leaders
That is why history repeats itself.

From the Bible we learn about God and the history of the Israelites
We learn how God dealt with sinners
Yet people still refuse to forsake their evil ways
They refuse to be guided by the Bible
They refuse to accept Christ.
They will meet a worst fate team that of the Israelites.
