A History of Ideas

Will there be writing
Prevailing over time
Shalt these records
Flourish, outliving their sire

Fissures designed to contain energy
Thoughtful, maligned,
Oppenheimer's New Mexico
Should I move to the desert
Or middle New Jersey
To contribute to efforts
Hopeful, misery,

Fair shake to the past
They thought it was good
But rake up the cash
Don't look back where we stood

A timeline of fools
I'll dodge it just yet
Chronology's tools
Casting fish to the net
