They attack it ruthlessly
Every year & month, day & hour.
Adding & omitting, cutting & pasting,
Destroying and rewriting.
(Why then believe in anything at all?)
First they gather together
All the accumulated knowledge
Of times, places, events and things
Then swallow and digest them
And, finding them unsatisfactory,
Vomit them out altered and changed.
Ether lap up and accept this new knowledge,
Or become a fool before the world.
They do this again and again, over and over,
Until the truths of the past
Become the falsehoods of today,
And the truths of today
Become the falsehoods of tomorrow.
