Looking Back — Moving On (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

Are you lost inside nostalgia,

blinded by its call

 

Self convinced the past is king,

old romance to enthrall

 

The facts proclaim much different,

in science and the arts

 

Awareness of what we’ve become,

the most illusive part

 

What you bought for fifteen dollars,

that CD with thirteen songs

 

Now can buy the music world,

Ipod’s carry on

 

The doctor’s diagnosis,

beyond mere life or death

 

An MRI can then confirm,

and protons will arrest

 

The scope of human nature,

to hold on and not let go

 

Ties us to a bill we’ve paid

—resent from long ago

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2019)

 

 

Guardians Of Tomorrow

 

All history must we study,

but not enslave ourselves

 

As we forge on in tribute

—intrepid to foretell

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2019)

 

 

Spitting In The Wind

 

Death is not a failing

—only its denial

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2019)
