History and Time

Time slips passed
  not waiting for invitation.
Looking back, history lies in the lost years
  today, forgotten what was once achieved.
Every struggle seems to continually resurface
  and old solutions fail and fade into the dark.
Guns and war are like love salt and peppered with hate
  and time just marches on, undisturbed. 
Nothing seems to change
  we want, we need, we give, we take
and everything else should fall in place
  marking time.
