William P. Harris Sr. Poet Rhyme

All our tomorrows

The mist of time unravels
As people slam  gravels
Making a piece of history disappear 
Does it not make you fear
The time of no past is here
You do not like how it was two hundred years ago
So you make a big show
How unfair
Does not anyone care
The past paints an ugly picture of us 
So let's all make a fuss
We can make it go away
Now even the past is not here to stay
Not even today
The past is something we earned
Just to watch it burn
Burn every book
Before we can have a look
Yesterday was our education on how things should not be today
We have changed our way
By learning from what we did wrong
Time moves along
You hide the past
The future will not last
Will fade out fast
Our high and our low
Lets people today know
Where not to go
What we was is not who we are
Like most pain we may carry some scar
Let the past be
So people may see
The best way to go
Learn what time has to show
Helps with the onward flow
So our future does not become the past
So all our tomorrows.....
.. will last..

Daniel Henry Rodgers January 25, 2024 at 6:03 PM Dear Bill, I read your poem and it left me with a sense of introspection. Your words are stark and you are right that we must learn from our past mistakes to build a better future. The past is a part of us, and we cannot erase it. Instead, we must acknowledge it, learn from it, and move forward. Your poem is a beautiful call to action, urging us to embrace the present and work towards a brighter tomorrow. Blessings, Daniel
