Ghosts Of Yesterday
by David Pekrul
copyright 09-24-2006


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
You were given many chances,
Could have made a better life,
But you fought with all your neighbours,
And you cheated on your wife,
Now you’ve crossed the final marker,
And there’s nothing you can do,
For the ghosts of yesterday
Are after you.

You are running from their shadow,
And you’re sinking in despair,
You are hiding in your ‘closet’,
But you know they’re always there,
You will run until you’re weary,
Then keep running ‘til you die,
For ghosts of yesterday
Are after you.

And you know that you are guilty,
And you know that you have sinned,
And the voices you are hearing,
Are much more than just the wind,
Now you hear them in the morning,
And they haunt you late at night,
For the ghosts of yesterday
Are after you.

On your tombstone will be written,
“He is buried with his past,
Couldn’t make a restitution,
For the mold was all but cast,
Now no longer with the living,
He is sleeping with the dead,
For the ghosts of yesterday
Were after him.”

Hee I loved it, especially the rhythm and rhyming scheme. Although I wonder where you came up with the idea for this one, it's very creative and has a big message. Great job!^^

(P.S- You spelled Teki wrong on your front page :P)

This is real graveyard writing, I like it.
Of course no matter how fast or far we run we can never escape that which we carry in our mind.
That said, guilt is in the mind of the beholder, some never feel guilty, others try to take on the guilt of the world.
I like to be somewhere between, have a conscience, but no sack cloth and ashes with a scourge in one hand.

This is a nicely written poem, which I think gives an eerie kind of feeling when read aloud.
Well done!
