~ Forgotten ~

Books are sometimes left aside...

Underneath the willow trees and in the dark

Half shoved into the earth

Is a book

With red leather covers.

It’s nothing really beautiful

It doesn’t have anything written on it

It’s just an old piece of work

Long forgotten there

 

They say it came from a wise-man

The one that saw the little child

But hardly anyone believes it

Who can blame them for it

Something they weren’t there to see

Some things long forgotten

Through the gate of time

 

We don’t remember

Our memories do not reach as far back

Still it doesn’t mean we can’t trust it

For certain it’s just a book

Is there a story behind it ?

Well, open it and see for yourself

Things long forgotten

 

It’s just an old piece of work

And what make it less than any other history ?

If we conclude as you do

History isn’t true

Napoleon didn’t live

Because what other proof do you have to give

Than paintings and writings ?

 

Some things have long been forgotten

But a time will come

When the doubt has fallen

And that memories in our minds shall revive.
