So Walk On By Poem by Mittur Ramprasad

SO WALK ON BY
Traveling in time listening to echoes
Of age old wisdom into tomorrows
Some stones are better left unturned
Leaving behind the treasure that’s buried
Walking away from the given chance
Not even giving a casual glance
As it may bring the unknown
That’s better left forever hidden
As what’s blessed is already on hand
That’s been given not by demand
Only what one truly deserves
By paying dues that’s in reserves
So walk on by
Looking back into heart of history
Remember the lessons learned in stories
Some memories are better left forgotten
Forever not to be remembered again
As it may bring back ghosts
Which is better off being lost
Along with its glory of yesterday
Before it gets in the way
