History of the Victors, No More – v2


It has been said that history isn’t written 
by who was in the right;
but by who was left, after the battles;
Filtered by scribes of the conquerors
or so it has been in the world
before the current frenetic age.

Today, however, a greater variety of voices
contradictory, contrary voices
each tell a different, competing truth
spread equally around the world
in mere milliseconds, an instant,
about war, about struggle, of the acts,
the commissions, the omissions,
of nation states, of rogue groups.

Each one being catalogued,
accumulated for the telling
of the history of this age,
thrown on the screens, the news cycle,
unscripted and uncontrolled
by the victors anymore.
