The quote today is from JFK
..."History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside."
NO PAST SHALL EVER BE GONE
We cannot get through a day
When history doesn't get in our way
And as sad as it will be
It reeks of negativity
Slavery is an old deep wound
That can alter even a modern mood
In the many years that has passed us by
It is still impossible to justify
Then God's creation in the past we grieve
In the sins imposed by Adam and Eve
And though apples and serpents are no longer involved
Countless sins will still evolve
The monarchy that had prevailed
In the days before Columbus sailed
Was banished through war against the mother land
To embrace our liberty the royalty was damned
Getting back to what was previously said
History is past but never dead
The goodness from it is welcomed still
But scars didn't heal and never will
No past will ever be gone, you see
Our lives are based on our history
We can stand on what we've rectified
But injustice will never be swept aside
