Ah, The Past

As Human Beings, we do tend to live within those succulent pages of the past, bad or good, rather than dare to venture into that unknown of the future ...

Ah, the past, the past, we live in the past ...

And, the why thereof --! ... What the hell for --!

Because, the past is filled, with lies of truth,

the truth of lies, of all that is, and once was,

and that which, we so wish, it could've been,

whilst, the future remains, realms unknown,

relegated to, Science Fiction's, adventurous din ...

[Thomas W Case]

Great work. We can waste a lot of time worrying about the past.

[Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn de Graham]

Thomas,

The past is never to be worried about, but the future is, and it is from the past which we have the opportunity to hope to shape the future ... Thanks for reading, and for the most kind comment ...

The past can not b be changed no matter the amount of time we sit pondering the different outcomes that could have been. It is a futile attempt.

This piece sums up the ideas of leaving the past in the past and the future in the future. Nicely done

[Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn de Graham]

Thank you for reading and for the very kind comment ...

You are welcome. I like the way you composed this idea

[Betty Hermelee]

Some of us live in the past, because the future hurts too much.... I, on the other hand, live for the NOW, I appreciate each day as it arrives, and try to make the most of it.... especially when you're ancient like I am... Many of us fear the future because it is so uncertain...uncomfortably so.....
Thanks for sharing,
Warmly, B

The past is fiction to me since you can sometimes read it like a book, or if your mind's feeling mischievous, it would change the written narration. And as most lengthy books go, you ought not to revisit and scrutinise its texts, that is, the past moments, and weigh your mind on it for too long. Such endeavour may only lead to further antagonising of your current being and future values. I prefer to let the past rest before I do every night, to loosen my mind of its self-inflicted restrains. That is the sentiment that this poem has invoked within me.
Thank you for sharing your work, author Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn de Graham, it was a good read. I wish you a nice day.

Boy! My thoughts exactly. except I could never ever hope to express it that way. your choice of words is amazing. Love it Marvin. Short but it says it all.

[Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn de Graham]

Woody?!,

You, my faked as feigned, Tunisian asswipe, are a user of those who invest THEIR time read and uplift your arrogant-arse-pages to return none the favor to those who are writers of stories such as your selfindulgent egomanical-s**t-arse-self ... Over these many years (since 20 f*****g 12) I have read and honored your well constructed writing, to this very day, to ever have you pass you piece of this shadow upon tales of stories that are/were mine ... You are a plague upon this site ... A leech, a tick, and verminous flea upon Writerscafe's back of all those piss poor deluded souls who might actually hope to think that you, piece of s**t you, might actually allow your mind to wander within that realm of: Turn about fair play ... Which is, exactly, why, you no longer populate that realm of my list of friends ... You are no one's friend, but that of, your Narcissist, own stroking self!
