Modern Thinking Poem by Paul Warren

Order and discipline is what we need
Correcting the past no need to exceed
So in the past we stepped on some toes
We weren't responsible for what we need to know

So live in the present and look to the future
Why would we want to show we could nurture
This seems the outsider point of view
And the latest modern thinking for us too

But this point of view makes me uneasy
As if you ignore the past at your peril is quite queasy.
