Past, present, and future

A country with all its glorious past

turns to the present and soon

will the present be a future

of death received and taken

split, divided the world stands still

holding its breath for too long

helps death along in its spread 

of past present and future

only to mourn briefly 

after all we are all expendable

after all we are nobodies

after all when one speck is born

sure enough the same dies

nothing is eternal - all change

from genes galore to genes" death

so is the past, present and future
