A talk between the past and future

Hello Last night. It’s time for people to move on from the past night.

But the future is a shooter that ruins all from the past right?

Maybe so, but eventually everyone needs to face me bro.

Do they really? Or are you just trying to erase me bro?

Erase you? Why on earth would I try to erase history?

Because people go mad trying to crack your mystery.

I’m inevitable there’s no way to run from me.

Impossible if they don’t make peace at one with me.

There’s no need for anyone to linger over you.

People overthink themselves through the ringer over you.

We need to find common ground to make better times.

The best way for us to do that is meeting in the present times.

    Great job pointing out how interwoven and important the past, present and future all are.

  • Oooo, this was so deep. Loved your poem!

  • The dialogue between the past and the future is beautifully crafted, offering a profound reflection on the tension between holding onto history and embracing what's to come. Your writing encapsulates the struggle and reconciliation needed to live in the present, which resonates deeply. Thank you for this thought-provoking piece.
