Delete a line, change a few words here and there
The changes are subtle, it's difficult to be aware
That there has been a change in the narrative
A completely different impression does this now give
The first time reader would now interpret
In a completely opposite manner the text
Thus historical facts are altered to bend
The narrative to fit what those in power intend
History is distorted, historical figures canceled this way
The truth may not see the light of the day
How do you teach impressionable minds, how would they learn
In an unbiased manner, history's valuable lessons
You cannot judge which narrative is right, which one accurate
Without taking into account the political climate
History was written by those in power, its true
It can be distorted by those in power too
