I keep looking back amazed
At the history of us humans
Every day I search for a few simple facts
Only to be outnumbered by vague opinions
Did you know we almost lost
Most of Aristotle's works
Stored in a damp basement
By one of his closest friends
Imagine them crumbled to dust
But rescued at the last minute
By a greedy bookseller for cost
Every day I search for those
Everything-is-lost moments
That come and go in our history
That something marvelous and terrible
Almost didn't happen and then it did
