Your point is well-taken. Denying one's past is is counterproductive (unless, perhaps, revealing that past would open old wounds, and result in dreadful consequences (such as those in 'Les Miserables,' the original soundtrack of which, I chanced to listen to yesterday. But that kind of thing seldom happens, so I still believe denying one's past to be
counterproductive, nevertheless).
Good luck in the three-line poem contest, Kahpot!

I really liked the contrast description with the half mast, it is a very clever idea that worked well. Your poem is full of wise and true advice that many should remember. my friend.

So true because all of our life is the entirety of our essence. A profound meaning stated with clarity.

A pleasure to read and review and I wish you great luck with the Contest Committee. :))

Wow. I like the idea here or recognizing that which comes before and how that has a hand in what which will come. This poem is ominous. It is a warning and it has the tools needed to avoid an unwanted outcome. Good luck in the contest.

What a great poem you have written. It's only three lines but it is powerful.
One can't or should not deny the past. We must learn from our past. Good luck.

Yes, that is true. Now we see this with the "megxit" situation - Harry and Meghan. Sadly they will find out it's not so friendly and easy in our world. Harry's been pampered, raised up to believe he's elite. An education awaits him.
Good poem - we are who we are.

IMHO too many persons during the Vietnam War era denied a reality you poignantly expressed in a few words. Your selected photograph is a reminder of that.

Best wishes in the contest.

-Good image and
presentation, kahpot.
-Your note is appreciated.
-The syllable count and
use of one continuous
thought is effective.
-The message is a good
one, and the comparison
to "flying half mast" is also good.
-Good luck in the contest.

So very true that our past does affect our future. How can it not? The past makes us who we are and tells us where to go from here.
