Past

PAST

Truly the present and the future
Cannot come and become
Without the past
Without the passing of another day
Today and tomorrow
Would not be here
Rather it would be there.

What a wonderful happening
These events of the day
The sequences and consequences
Is God’s invention of the best
The future and the present
Precedes the past, not invertly and conversely!

People are either or neither
Are major players
But it could be 
Antecedents or of the precedents
Sometimes
We cannot accept the past
As incidentals of the present
The future are accustomated by the past…

If you are the past
And never can be
The present and the future
To dare this and that
Would be an absurdity
Lest the experiences and challenges appurtenant thereto
Stick in the present, think of the future and bury the Past!!
