The Future Is The Enemy

The Future Is The Enemy

The future is the enemy of the past

It wants us to forget everything

The pain we have caused

All of those who died

And those who suffered but survived

It doesn’t want us to remember

All of the mistakes we had made

All of the wrong decisions

Which led to our very destruction

It doesn’t want us to learn

It hopes we will not make the same mistakes

But we won’t know how to correct them

Since there will be no one to tell us what they were

Because they will be locked in the past

Their voice no longer able to be heard

So, the past will be repeated

And more will suffer

More will die

Until someone remembers and speaks out

In a future where the past is the enemy
