Righting History’s Wrongs

History

Our past

A culmination of actions

Leading to today

Acts of beauty or compassion

Acts of barbarism and brutality

All shape the current minute we all reside in

Oh genie in the bottle

Were you really there

Or H.G. Wells time machine

Were you really possible

What would I change, or could I change?

Adolf... that's an obvious one

Or Stahlin...

A warning for the Titanic before she set sail?

How about trying to stop a war?

A simple "leave the building now" on 9/11

Maybe telling Marilyn Monroe to just go to sleep.

That tomorrow will be ok.

Or Kobain

Or Hemingway

Or Van Gogh

So many choices

So many wrongs

So many tragedies

So much turmoil

That led to today

The truth is...

And maybe I'm selfish

But I wouldn't do any of these things

I'm too small

I'm too unimportant

My choice, would be to visit... me

To impart the wisdom of my future self

Kiss the girl, don't chicken out

Turn right and not left

Start that business... don't be afraid

Fight back, don't just take it!

Call gramma even if its inconvenient at the time

You will run out of opportunities before you least expect it

Take a chance

Don't be so safe

Regret is an ache that never goes away

Live your best life

Embrace it as an adventure

Be brave, not so damn scared

Your today, is my future

Make me proud of MY history
