A box of free stuff On the corner Underneath the Broken glass inside Covered in dust I saw an old tome From a long, long Fucking time ago Slowly the pages turn Searching for lost wisdom What lessons can be learned From aeons past Normally I hate to read Mostly because of my 2nd grade speed But this book put a spell on me The last page is turned A history of the world Same shit different day War, famine, death Political hoax And it's like I’ve seen a ghost
