the undead past

who owns the story is the heart of the matter
each tale is different from each actor's view
there's always disagreement over the true
and every version will find ways to flatter
this argument's real it's not just idle chatter
each speaker comes in exactly on cue
the nervous grating statements that they spew
out on the audience are no joking patter
whose history is always the true question
the giant always seems to have bad feet
the servant's posture is the true nobility
none of those here is open to suggestion
there's no point where all perspectives meet
but in evading all show some agility
