Become through creation
Born into the nation
We took, take and gave
Did as we decided
Told and taught
Governed and divided
Decisions decided
Rules obeyed and broke
Mistakes made make us
Think, cry and joke.
Desire within
Adventure craved
Chances took
Steps made
Crash and burn
Recover, learn
Discover, earn
The future
Joy and misery>
Knowledge!
Experience!
Knowledge!
History
The future
Understanding
We become
Wiser
Survivors
Influence
Consequence
Incidents
Fundamentally
Irrelevant
After
We leave
A memory
Forgotten
A legacy
An example
A past
An existence
History.
