History of the World

All leaders are plagued

by the subtle fear

they’re not as intelligent

they hope they appear

to a stupid world

that just grinds on.

Not for the rights

and not for the wrong

but for the momentum

it’s gathered to now

and no one can know

exactly how.

* * * * *

In a giant vat

six billion minds

float together

in slippery slime-

covered intent

always out of reach

despite what they think,

despite what they teach.

For minds without arms

is a stretch indeed.

A dream perhaps

is all that they need.

So lets give it a nod

and let it roll.

Momentum will gather

ever so slow

and abracadabra,

a history we know.
