I have seen the past

He probably should have entitled this poem "Why I am a Liberal", just to make the political side of its message clear. He's been accused of oversimplification of the message of the philosophical dichotomy between Conservatives and Liberals...but I, for one, think that simple truths are the purest truths.

I have seen the past

I have seen the past,
and there have been moments in it
that were as sweet as I can bear.
But the future, it is there,
still waiting, calling out as a sirene,
telling me there is more,
there is more,
there is more.
And my dreams are moments
yet unfulfilled.
And I am unworthy
if I dwell, alone, in memory.
