POEM: historical fact

historical fact

right here
this is the place
the very spot
it was on this
little patch of earth
that our ancestors
made the fateful choice
that still rings down
through the ages
it was here
no place else
that they dropped
a firm anchor
saying
“here we make our stand”
and stand they did
on this very place

wait, no
it was over there
