The lost heritage
#WritcoPoemPrompt35
By the flickering light of an ancient lamp,
By the twinkling waters of an ancient river,
The dancer entertains the heathen enemies.
This fascinating history forever etched in stone,
Is a monumental discovery...
But with this revelation
come the untold truths
of the forgotten invasion
which butchered youths.
A whole generation lost
found beneath the ruins
of the palaces that once shone
In drunken lust of power and money.
The monumental discovery
of deceit, murder,loot and more.
A heritage that nobody wants
but owns the conscious of today's
so called keepers of the faith.
As it their forefathers who bore
the weapon of genocide.
Now a long forgotten buried history
unearthed in today's age.
Setting a new path
for disputes and war anew
A monumental discovery
Indeed it is.
