Present Seers Future Steering The Past

What is the Future,
WILL be Willed,
Upon the Past.

In the Present,
Can we change,
The Future,
By changing,
The Past.

Is the Past,
Our preordained,
Presence to our Future.

Was Yester Day,
Too Late,
To change,
Things Today,
For our Future.

Tick – Tock,
Present to Past,
Tick the Future,
Tock the Past -
Ending.

In the presence,
Of reading this,
Looking back,
Upon past reflections,
We Ponder,
What was read.

From the Title,
Being Present,
We have presence,
Amid each line read,
On each tick-tock stroke,
Then at the end,
We reflect back onto
Past contentiousness.

Upon the Past,
WILL be Willed,
What is the Future.

The Past,
The Future,
Can we change,
In the Present,
By changing.

Presence to our Future,
Our preordained,
Is the Past.

For our Future,
Things Today,
To change,
Too Late,
Was Yester Day.

Ending,
Tock the Past -
Tick the Future,
Present to Past,
Tick – Tock.

What was read,
We Ponder,
Upon past reflections,
Looking back,
Of reading this,
In the presence.

Past contentiousness,
We reflect back onto,
Then at the end,
On each tick-tock stroke,
Amid each line read,
We have presence,
Being Present,
From the Title.
