A World In Need Of Multi- Faceted Histories Poem by DM W

Who will gather together
These fragments of history
And provide a context for them
And a wider meaning beyond
The stinginess of the provincial
And nationalistic? Who will weave
Together the general and the particular
In a detailed yet impartial way?
Perhaps one who is wise and compassionate
Yet as detached as an a angel,
With a gift for precise, yet poetic, words
Will place them in a single folio
Which will brim with hope and glow
With the soft burning light of truth.
