I Will Change The History Poem by Daniel Laari Jacob

I grew from homes where fishes
Dwell in a pool of sand.
I grew from homes where trees
Cry for shades.
I grew from homes where mountains
Are shorter than rocks.
...from homes where dogs
Chew metals as bones.
Hm!

I will change the history:
They walked but I will run,
They drank from gourds but I will drink from
Lion's skull,
They fought with spears but I will fight with arrows,
They took the smooth path but I will follow
The rough path.

I will change the history;
For I know the moon moves slowly but by
Daybreak it crosses the sky,
And when a monkey learns to jump
From tree to tree, it never falls.

I will change the history,
....change the history,
..........the history,
...............history.
