Do Not Look Back And Sigh Poem by Hannington Mumo

Do not agonize over your time-buried blunders,
For laments and failings label the mortal kind;
And stinky cankers tour rose's thriving blooms
And in sweetest hives you'll lewdest badgers find.

It's rowdy shame for a fault's doer twice to err,
And quite virtuously human to only once falter;
None can harmless stand against vice's creepy grip
For breath's paths kink toward a virtue-defying altar.

Do not look back with a self-cursing sigh
At the injudicious doings of yester-times;
For spotless shine comes when blotches die
And victory is defeat's sway come to an end.

You might borrow a leaf from Origin's rarest insight,
Who unaided molded all and His own antagonist made;
Whose opposing feebleness well shows his total might,
Whose contrasting malice proves his overwhelming care.

Your fetid yesterday's most horrendous act
Inspires your tomorrow's most honored tact.
