Past
Is
Dead.Solemn
regret,
transgressions
fill
my
headA
measure
of
success
is
how
well
to
forgetAnd
the
past
is
dead.Strewn
about
the
battlefield
of
life
are
the
remainders
of
historyWhen
convenient
we
exalt
them
and
pay
them
such
respectAs
if
we're
all
in
an
equivalent
trajectory.And
trash
piles
high
in
the
rubble
we
forgotThe
angels
of
our
nature
just
sit
and
watch
it
rot.Now,
the
past
is
deadLet's
focus
on
tomorrow
insteadOh
the
tragic
present
saidThe
past
is
dead.Who
can
say
what
constitutes
the
most
important
sector
of
society?The
dominant
portion
seek
an
instant
gratificationAnd
are
proud
of
intellectual
poverty.I'd
like
to
be
empathetic
but
I
can'tThe
jeopardy
is
too
great
to
make
a
stand.Now
the
past
is
deadGood
deeds
won't
help
you
get
aheadThe
modern
signpost
read
the
past
