Past, Present and Future

Past, Present and Future How do we move forward if we’re always looking back? At what point did acceptability, exist without fact? How much can we give; how much can we take? When did we lose our integrity and become so damn fake? Will mankind rise up, adapt and overcome? Why have so many lost and so few have won? Will forgiveness find it’s way into each of our hearts? Why must we divide and keep tearing apart? Nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes. Each of us will fall flat on our cakes. Live and learn, then get back up. There’s more in a bottle than just one cup. Do your part, do something today. Show some love by going out of your way. With empathy and kindness, reach out to a stranger. Maybe your actions, will save someone from danger.

I think the pandemic has taught people how to stay at home more and enjoy our partners company a lot more. it has taught me to be a lot more patient and be thankful to God that we can work from home - I think your poem is a real eye opener, we need to show empathy to people, kindness as well, and by going out of our way, we acknowledge it to ourselves more. so well penned Mark. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hello Mark ... your poem hits hard and there seems to be a marked by a lack of socializing, perhaps since the Internet has become so popular - thank you Mark - Lindsay

The only time we should look back is to learn from our mistakes, and a bit of love and kindness towards others goes a long way and costs nothing. Well written Mark. Hope you have a great week Tom
