The Past

A once insolent blasphemer and a violent man Strung together under inspiration three words And with ease began a new sentence “Forgetting the past …” Fluent words which flow so freely In a sentence Are impeded off the page Hampered and hindered by a harrowed heart A product of voices and choices Hooks that hold however have to yield In time their greed and gluttony For tomorrow will soon become today And be remembered only as yesterday “Forgetting the past …” Is where it begins “And looking forward …” Is where it will end (Philippians 3: 13)
