Stars are softly smirking tonight <br />Within the black apex of humanities limits. <br />They whisper “past” as all shout “right”! , <br />They draw our wills in winter white, <br />As we carry their pain in shallow buckets, <br />And attempt to cast them into the sea- <br />Most prove too crude a carry. <br /> <br />So leave them where you once had stood <br />And claim a will of gold and good- <br />Yet remember that, in troubled times- <br />We are just what we've left behind.<br /><br />Lazarus Knix<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-are-just-what-we-ve-left-behind/
