Forward Versus Backward Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

Future means to look forward Anytime, anywhere, and everywhere... There are some who look forward Just for a better future without Forgetting a pretty past(if they had one) And taking from a pretty present To add to their magnificent future... There are some people who run To the rear forgetting to go forward Or they are not inclined to look for A wonderful, great, and pretty future... Tracing forward is a greater step Towards making one's future better... Backward means to look for what is Called a painful past with no hope Towards a better and a greater future... Life is great master that we learn from Many, many lessons about looking forward Or looking backward anywhere and everywhere... ______________________________________________________________________
