:

why study history again and again,
when it promises to you, never to end?
when you know what u know today,
tomorrow will never remain the same?
when all that was buried away and cast,
takes that long to become the past.
when you know that what is around,
shall remain irrelevant,
till it connects back to the static,
the history again in motion.

so history is actually making history alive,
it is infact running,
but then what is the void?
it must have ended somewhere,
to be able to begin again....
so there must be a new beginning now,
just before a previous end.

then why do we worry about history at all,
when all is to be written and re-written and then in store,
maybe history tries to teach us documenting.
so that means nostalgia is pure romanticizing?
so for the romantics,
who live in the past,
documentation becomes referencing,
and the present gets too vast.

you do get my point here?
now there is no present....
because it is inconceivable and passing each time.
so lets all build for our memories,
they might make us last?

build for the memory of the erstwhile,
build for the memory still to come in time.
that means you build each time,
with its end.
so you build a wall around,
and then forget all its sense....

build for a past you had never seen,
a memory of a memory,
for a place you've never been.
so what can such a memory be?
where you don't talk.
there is no event,
because you don't belong.

that means you are building in a void,
you are building a continuity
but its extents undefined.
it shall not start and shall not end,
it shall connect back and forth,
and hold (memory)generators in tense.

the belonging of us,
shall then be in many histories,
because the memory is a constant,
and the history now a living.
