Contempt

furor, justified by authority
searing: leaving a mark
father, rejection of the rain
held down in the class
but that language no longer holds
because it's easy to forget
when it's simpler to stop remembering
and you had a little help, don't feel bad
Thucydides knew: better win to get to narrate
as of course, general and historian are complementary professions
while we extend over our time
hopefully you understand: there's no possibility of comprehending
as long as you don't think
