Family History
It’s all about connections.
If we can only find them
we can all find our dynasty
we can all trace our family
back to its royal beginnings
see their place in that dynasty
through their connections.
If we can only find them
we can all be back there
then.
If we can only make them
we can all be there
now.
J’Accuse
It was almost accidental.
A reasonable response
to an aberration
of history.
You were all involved
in its creation
unchecked.
Monitoring
would have seen it starved
of self-deceit
acknowledged the lies
but you fed and watched it grow
fatter and fatter.
