One thing i believe

let’s believe history for once
and claim it was apt.
but one day, if the fabric, the covering
fades and underneath we see
a familiar shade of actors
villains and a cast well played
we find why we choose to rewrite –
a knowing that we’re
made up of one man who died
and one man who we are
and one man who needs another
to appeal to their best instincts.
when we sit down with everyone
we’re not afraid of contamination
as we are of association
