Looking back gives perspective as to where we stand now.
That is the power of history
globally or writing your own daily autobiography
the past does matter
history being a creative tool
a means to create a more meaningful future
mistakes are lesson we need to build on
history allows us to correct
the track record of human activity is dismal
and its ongoing; wars, murder, rape
will be the headlines in tomorrow’s news
but along-side those headlines are accounts of heroism
we are living in ‘exiting times’
the planet is responding to our abuse
nature is f..king us over, this is only the beginning
from inspection the laws of physics apply
life is a finely balanced creation of evolutionary mutations
that’s the rub we have interfered with that balance to our peril
