The Past, Present, Future. Poem by CHRISTOPHER MUDIENYI

THE PAST PRESENT FUTURE
Yoked, I was,
Yoked in the yoke of the foregone past,
Yoked in the chains of this soon to be gone present,
Yoked in fear fetters of yet to be a bygone future,
This yoked yokes that shackle me.

Docked, my ship was,
Docked is the ship of my future,
Docked in the sea of my wasted present,
Docked in an ocean vast with my present past,
Who will undock my docked me?

Locked, my door was,
Locked in the dreams of my ones beautiful past,
Locked in this threat that is terrifying my present,
Locked in the fantasy cocoon of my supposed future,
Locked behind the doors that lock me.
