Verse Love: Day 5: Lessons From History

On this Easter Sunday, the Verse Love host, Jennifer asks us to prompt asks us find a line of poetry that speaks to us and then un-find it by exchanging the main words with their antonyms as a starting point. 

I started with some of Amanda Gorman's lines, and took liberty at un-finding it!
Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew...

At home, where elected 
Representatives of we, the people
Sigh and wonder if 
This is a need, a want, a lie,
Even as some celebrate,
Winning battles, 
Dropping deadly bombs,
Killing of dictators,
Daring rescues,
We the people. wondered 
Had not learned 
Lessons from history?
