All in the Past

All in the Past

A Poem by Peter Thomas
"

About how what we do never goes away, and that our history defines us and to forget our history, will ultimately lead us to fade away

"

It’s all in the past

Sure if that what you believe

We’ll see who gets the last laugh

I’ve done many countless things

So many things you won’t believe

You just can’t sit right there and tell me

Try and tell me once again

Don’t worry about it please

Because it’s all in the past

 

Life does not forget

So neither will I

Every action has a reaction

That stuff won’t go away

Everything that you have done

Eventually you will have to pay

Life won’t let you get away

So if you try and lie it gone

Let me sing you a song

Never will you last

Don’t you see nothings in the past

 

Scores and Scores many years may pass

Some of them for us each one could be our last

For everything we win even if we lose

A mark upon our soul

Everything will leave a hole

To show us what we’ve done

No matter right and wrong

I always hear people say

“I don’t care much for that final score”

“I just like to live present right here and now”

You can live like that, many do it seems

Just remember that you will have to concede

What you are and what you will be built upon the previous facts

Every debtor has a beginning every winner has a future

Now its time for me and you to settle out this feature

I told you once that I wouldn’t forget

I made a mark on my soul and yours

Forget the past is all very well and nice

To live right now and live like mice

But there’s one small detail you should have remembered

Every day could be your last

That’s why I never forget the past
