I'd really like to study
Delve into the past
I want to know who thought of it
And how long did it last
I want to examine relationships
People from before
How they went about
Expressing their amour
I'll have to learn of conflict
That's all part of it
The women who may inspire the fight
And the men who do conflict
The fashion of the times will tell
More of trade and tribute
The designers and the merchants
Who bring it and contribute
I'm interested in the writing
What has come before
The parchment tells us one view
Archaeology says much more
I just need to get a picture
A firm and real hold
Of the community that I live in
Within which I try to mould
A more realistic perspective
Of what is expected of me
And then I can find comfort
In acting uniquely
