First or Last Might it be asked, first or last, ponderous thought, are we ensnared by the past, who we are, what we did, a determinant totality of who we are today, ensnared by the past, dastardly acts violating boundaries, the rights and property of others; without conscience we sought to advance our instinctual cravings, ensnared by the past. Might it be asked, first or last, a ponderous thought, are we ensnared by the past, who we were, what we did, redeemed or a predacious person, who we are today, ensnared by the past, hedonistic comfort disrupted in the advent of a moral challenge to volitional conformity forged by recognizing the point of power, right here, right now or retrogressing, ensnared by the past. Might it be asked, first or last, a ponderous thought, are we ensnared by the past, who we were, what we did, bridges in between, who we are today, ensnared by the past, No longer propelled recklessly by the seven deadly sins of hedonism, by grace cometh enlighten through knowledge of self, no longer drawn to the light at the end of the tunnel, we are the light in the tunnel, least we are ensnared by the past.
