Why Do Ghosts Never Future Past

Why do Ghosts never seem to smile In picture framed tributes encased hanging on display front and center on a living room wall Is it just incase the outward glass facade crack's and break's Or makes the frame from whatsoever bound it to the wall in the first place Until it is eventually nothing more than a black and white picture entombed in broken glass and frame Clinging helplessly onto a bare wall not even hung up straight Is that why perhaps maybe ghosts don't ever seem to smile As they know exactly what the future holds in store for everyone long after death is through with all of us And unfortunately fair warning there is really not a single thing worth cracking or smiling about to say in regards to that Apart from never being able even once dead To hang or ever mend a broken frame or cracked glass again So as to put a smile back on a Ghost from future past
