The Historians
Our past is our future
Save the historians if you do anything
Leave the politicians, they are easily reproduced
And the royals, their spilled blood is no more red than our own
The historians will remember them all
Even the strongest, brightest and most beautiful, their attributes fade and cannot live on forever
Maybe you believe that saving all the young is what is necessary, for they will learn as they grow, but they cannot know what came before them, from the previous generations if you take away books and the truth in the news and media
How will we ever build from mistakes and achievements of the past if we save only the young and those of artificial importance?
Lest we forget
Lest we forget
Lest we forget
The brave who have fought and still fight for their countries, did they not fight to preserve the culture, language and history of people?
So when you see the end is coming, let God save the kings and queens if he so chooses
But you, be wise and first save the historians.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
