No Past Shall Ever Be Gone

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
