IT COULD BE CLASSES AS PROSE, (I SUPOSE)
WHAT IF YOU COULD GO BACK A THOUSAND YEARS,
WOULD YOU TRY AND CHANGE THE PAST SO THAT TODAY
WOULD BE A BETTER PRESENT?
OF COURSE YOU WOULD, MOST PEOPLE WOULD,
BUT, AND THIS WOULD NEED SOME CAREFUL CONSIDERATION,
WHAT CHANGES WOULD YOU MAKE?
ANY CHANGES TO THE PAST,
WOULD HAVE TO BE THOUGHT OUT BEFORE YOU
STARTED YOUR JOURNEY.
LET US SUPOSE THAT YOU HAVE DONE THAT
TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY, AND YOU
ARE NOW BACK IN THE YEAR 1005.
WHERE ARE YOU STARTING FROM, BY THAT I MEAN
WHAT COUNTRY HAVE YOU GONE BACK TO?
YOU HAVE DECIDED HAVN’T YOU?
PERHAPS THE AMERICAS, OR THE MIDDLE EAST
OR EVEN SOME COUNTRY IN THE FAR EAST.
A DIFFICULT CHOICE I THINK WHEN WE CONSIDER
THAT ALL ARE WELL EDUCATED,
YES EDUCATED.
EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAD IT’S
GREAT TEACHERS; HAD ITS LAW’S OR LORE.
GO BACK ANOTHER THOUSAND YEARS
AND YOU WILL DISCOVER EXACTLY THE SAME.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A TIME WHEN MAN
HAS NOT BEEN EDUCATED.
SO NOW YOU ARE BACK IN THE YEAR OF YOUR CHOICE,
WHAT NOW. WHERE DO YOU START, WHAT DO YOU SAY?
COME FORWARD TEN YEARS AT A TIME,
WHAT DIFFERENCES DO YOU SEE IN MANKINDS BEHAVIOUR?
WHAT EVER YOU TRY TO CHANGE HAS ALREADY BEEN TRIED,
AND THE RESULT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS IT IS TODAY.
THE PRESENT REALLY IS THE PAST REPEATING ITSELF.
PERHAPS IT IS BEST TO LEAVE THE PAST ALONE,
AND LOOK FORWARD TO A TIME WHEN THERE WILL BE
A DIFFERENT FUTURE, BROUGHT ABOUT BY WISDOM.
