age only escapes our defenses when old
never when are young and foolish,
looking back on a life hastily lived,
believing all would be different if other
choices had been made, second guessing
the ones we made as if second chances
were given out with a death certificate,
influences and attitudes, preconceived
ideas and circumstances were to blame
for our choices and would be made again
the same way they were the first time
unless conditions around us changed...
we see what we want to see and hear
what we want to hear and oftentimes
believe what we want to believe but we
cannot change the past nor can we change
the rules that govern the past... the exact
moment we blinked our eyes, our present
became our past and our immediate
future temporarily became known...
life will always be that way until there
is no more life to live... our decisions
are nanoseconds in time, and not really
much different than having to eat the
meal that we ordered in a previous past.
