Till the past is passe

Man wanting to hold
On, craves to climb next ladder
But can’t leave the old

Ere climbing next one
And bids for life’s grave blunder 
Time and times again,

Forgetting alas
That there’s no way to heaven 
Till the past is passé.

Note: This is what’s happening in today’s materialistic world fed with the diet of grab, grab and give not the ladder to others wanting to climb. Yet, till the past is passé, there is no future.
