Past and Present-A Blueprint For Success
Past and Present; A Blueprint for Success
Ancient legends reside on worn stones;
carry out their journeys through time.
Nothing is ever new, it is only
rediscovered by new senses.
Birds of iron and steel taxied across
ancient deserts millennia ago;
are depicted on ancient temples and pyramids,
the world over.
In Alexandria, Egypt;
sailors guided by an old light house;
traveled ancient seas in search of gold and lapis.
The technology is lost in the folds of time.
Egypt’s electricians are remembered,
despite efforts to deny them;
the artists of their times have,
immortalized them in stone.
Modern man, a creature of technology;
fails to duplicate what, the ancients knew and
saving face, destroys the whole planet for,
lack of the ancient knowledge.
Lost is the original set of blueprints; trial and error are the ends when,
we forget the past in favor of the future.
Like siblings, past and future must, grow up together.
Favor one over the other and something is lost.
In looking back as we look ahead in the present;
nothing is truly impossible.
