After Words – 19th April 2026

~ shaun tenzenmen

Epilogue:

So that was it, the story done,
everyone was dead – everyone!
A tragic tale to be very sure,
even the heroes were no more.

But just as this tale was being told,
a similar one was taking hold,
Because history is always repeated,
as if the lessons had been deleted.

It becomes a chore to tell again
the hows, the whys, the where, the when.
So the storytellers always return
to teach the students who failed to learn.

Try your hand at writing a poem that could be a section or piece of one. 

Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Our Sphere Of Impulses

Surrender and serve the common good
With power or not – leave room
Everyone can be the one who could
Provide the answers that you’d presume

  2. Ha ha! Brilliant. It reads like storybook time for kids but at the end all the kids are crying. Wait – I might be the only one who finds this funny…still, I enjoyed this! Nice one, Shaun 🙂
