'Only the past is safe
For it does not change'
Life is always in a flux,
A perpetual evolving vortex,
Trying to keep up with time.
Each hour of the day varies
So why do we expect
That today be like yesterday?
What is known gives us comfort,
The unknown staring at us
Scares us no end.
So we hold tightly to the past
As if there was no tomorrow
For the present is unstable
But we pretend it is as settled
As yesterday was.
