OUR LOT
What has been done
cannot be undone.
Our beds, made
must be laid in
for the generations to come.
And if we try to deny culpability
escape responsibility
it will not change our fates
but just make us look stupid.
I don't want to be stupid
but I don't want this future
and I wish there were some way
to revisit time
to go back
and fix our grievous errors
rectify our history.
But we cannot turn back
there is no clause to offer restitution
or rescue.
Hindsight will not allow us
new opportunities.
We cannot look back.
There is nothing for us there.
Only forward may we see
into our future must we stare blindly.
