Lost Yesterday

It is strange how

Things that are so recognizable

Are so easily forgotten

How the words that once inspired a nation

Are lost, reduced to merely

A wisp of memory

From an aging temple

How the great men of today

Are lost among the great men of tomorrow

But, I suppose

That is the way of such things

We only see what is shoved

Into our faces

While we look for tomorrow

And never look back

To yesterday
