Every event
in the future, past or present,
magical or mundane
Vying for a place
in the crammed pages
of history
Burdening the antiquity
already moaning under
the weight of missing humanity
Every war, each famine
every tyrant, each saint,
every city, each hamlet
Not one dwelling or incident,
important or nondescript,
drab or resplendent
let off the pages of memory,
left to the oblivion
of amnesiac bliss
Billion selfies a day
going in the stockpile
of the unwarranted
Ensuring the future of history
remains ever the bright
yet bleak
