What use to be before
now is no more
Nary a #trace
of yesterday's reality remains
Speculation now saturates
revisionist history
as PHD's pontificate unrestrained
their best pet historical theories
After many high priced consultations
scholarly consensus now proclaims
what had passed for absolute truth
back in the day
never really was
Interpretations have been revised
to edit out the textbook lies
that will exonerate departed martyrs
Victims of unyielding authorities of the past
Those erasers of contrarian dissent
Self righteous judges and juries
of all heretics
who bravely dared
not to salute the dogma
of a black and white world
science defined as flat
Remember this lesson
next time a rigid thinking fool
preaches to you about absolute truth
