BRIEF HISTORY BOARD

"

History has many action parts

But let it be knowledge illustrating from the start

Ancient Rome having struggles and victory

Too some Historians, there might be some mystery

Kings wants to control the people that were weak and poor

This is how anarchy really began to soar

Deceit and revenge on the King’s mind

A battle in forces all combined

But because of being scornful, Ancient Rome was weakened and crumbled to their own destruction full of devastation

It was the end of Ancient Rome being Heaven’s creation.

 

America’s Slavery of Black Men and Women beyond compare

Flesh was beaten hard until blood poured from many strikes

The Plantation Owners were using that as their strength in might

But the Slaves prayed that One day, Freedom will be their Guiding Light

Bitter Winds and Angry Revelation

The Struggle between Good and Evil became a separation

The Guiding Light came, and Civil Rights Movement became a Freedom Voice.

 

Innovations upon Innovations, Man wanted to fly

It was experiments after another in try

No matter what, it meant strapping on wings on arms and attempt to fly

Into the air you say, it was more like touch down

Because the experiments always came to hitting the ground

Failure often was the takeoff, but of course things just didn’t land as hoped

No, the inventors weren’t dopes

It was back to the drawing board with a new way to cope

So a new theory was instituted with engineering in making large structures with the ability to fly

Technology had truly advanced

This became the Inventor’s chance and became their stance

The thirst for flying in the air was now welcome to the Friendly skies

This is not from a former commercial from United Airlines being an advertise

This was only word to the wise.

 

America discovered ranging from the West Coast to the East Coast

How the West was won

Western Movies always portrayed Sheriff and the Bad Guys with Indians

It was the great frontier

This was how America was able to preserver

Towns became cities

Horses were replaced with cars, buses and trucks

Back roads were now highways

Distance lands were brought closer

People were connected being communities

In fact, there was unity

Hello Ms. America and pleased to meet you Mr. America

Shades of Race assortments spread throughout the country

My Country Tis Of Thee, but it involves even today being you and me.

 

Imagine an Icon of America’s history being the Greyhound Bus

It started out by two Inventors as a car

The operations was a small commute not really going that far

Popularity of the open road and the door to bus travel

Distance was extended

Greyhound Bus Lines became a Major Ground Transportation Carrier in North America

It was State by state with town after town

Go Greyhound and you yourself will be bound

 

This was only a brief history line by line

You might have history in your own family combined

So there’s my version of a history lesson past

It was advancement throughout that came fast

But it is now a remembrance that will last

History being determined in proof

All this while I was in my youth.
