Settes

Sonnet 1

We want to go back to when it was good

When everyone behaved the way they should

The comfort of childhood, nothing went wrong

When we lived the life of a Disney song

 

But a true recreation of the past?

“And not a filtered one?”:  you might be asked

All the negatives have been filtered out!

Why do we need this escape? Why this doubt?

 

If it’s a sad future we all foresee

Then closer to our past we want to be

But constant longing for times in our past 

Will destroy our present, which may fade fast

 

Retrospection leads to paralysis

And in the end becomes our nemesis
