History Poem by Carmela Kazmier

Here today,
gone tomorrow.
Written down
in tons of books.
Spreading word,
about the past,
to make sure
that the past has past.
Trying not to let the future
see the horrors of today
or yesterday.
Trying to prevent the same
mistakes that happened yesterday
from becoming the mistakes
of the future starting today.
What's done is done
what's past is past
Today is a gift,
tomorrow a mystery,
and yesterday
is already history
