Reliance

Look forward or look back
Maybe both
The future will
The present is
The past we own
For better or worse
Weep smiles
Share hope
The hopes are
The pain is
The friends stand
For better or worse

Very concise write Peter. I like the effect where you wove those similarities...line 3 to match line 9, 4 to 10 and 5 to 11? Do you see what I mean ? Definitely different from the other work that I have seen of yours.

I sense a lot underneath that wants to come out, hence the less than ten, as I want this poem to expose its nature... I am intrigued but still hungry.

The Past is the Friend
Future is the enemy
Present is the battlefield
The Toilet becomes home.

Hi Peter.
thought the poetry had a touch of the warm beer about it.
But "The Hand of Hunsha." is absolutely fantantic.what a writer you are.
Not running on all cylinders at the moment,need to catch up if I can.
All the best.
