Believe it or Not

History is not a clay we can play with
Create with, or form anything from
We might prefer fables that give us comfort
No matter how well some beat that drum
Many interesting things never existed
However interesting
If only in the minds of the imagination
A well expressed creative voice
So does that make it a lie? Maybe
Does it make it any kind of myth?
Perhaps
Be honest with yourself
Things might entertain
They might be untrue
Be careful with important things
Be honest so that you might know
There are things you must understand
Don't allow yourself to live in a fantasy
Those that you or others create
But if you let your mind be free
Let yourself fly across the sky
Imagination is good
Facts are great
But without one
The other feels like a stone
Weighting down your heart
Some things may never be explained
So hope greatly
Be prepared
There is nothing else you can do
  It is not wrong to wonder
Nor is it wrong to use your brain
It might even allow us to survive disaster
Caused by our own hands
Or caused by things
You've never understood
Nor would you have imagined
