Newly Titled

Kurt Philip Behm

Those who built yesterday

deserve out respect

The pillars we stand on

through joy and regret

 

Their essence our essence

as far as it goes

But tomorrow’s new title

— the past must forgo

    Indeed it seems true Kurt the past foregoes much. I have thought of this before if it is the victors that write history then we today judge it and mold it to fit our views and purposes. What a twisted mess.

      We need to learn from the past but not let it dictate the future.

        I’m with you, Kurt. I’d like to leave something useful behind...without expecting everyone after me to follow my instructions! šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸ™šŸ•ÆļøšŸ¦ā€ā¬›
