~
leave the past
in the past
where it belongs,
cast in stone
inked on paper,
the past now, is still
what it was back then
both good and bad
things happened
nothing will change
what’s gone before,
you can tear up the
history books
pull down old statues
rename buildings
roads and colleges
give sorry money
by the million,
when it’s done
it still all happened,
you and me
both know that,
stop looking back
stop wallowing in
yesterday’s swamp
of darkness,
walk into the light
use the lessons learned
as a beacon in your head,
leave the past
in the past
where it belongs
