They said not to look back
But I did
And all I saw was destruction.
Death.
Suffering.
Poverty.
Was our past really like that?
Was our societies past that bad?
And yet,
somewhere amongst that death
and suffering
I see happiness
creativity
love.
Is our society really so cold
To not have love?
I wish people knew,
Our beautiful
and not so beautiful
history.
