The Past (My New Year's Eve Poem)

The past should be fully embraced...
Because it can never be erased.
We should LEARN instead of moan...
From others' mistakes AND our own.

If we change our point of view...
It makes things easier to live through.
Teach our children to do the same...
And then, we'll be ahead of the game.

We should remember our soldiers & our Constitution.
Look back at the past BEFORE there's a new revolution.
We fought the British over too much control,
And now, this government is digging the same hole.

War has personal, global, and economical loss.
It teaches nothing by not seeing the true cost!
This New Year's Eve poem was written to be seen...
...Let's hope for a better world in 2013!
