a broken past lies in the ruins
still we hold on to it
clutch it like a baby does with a toy
ghost of our memories
travels through the secret passages
with no respect for future
why not demolish the palace
and let the creatures of the deep dark forest take over?
but the world is too busy destroying mankind

How often the past tries to devour the future, as overpopulation and other ecological disasters rise, I feel this sharply. Well executed!
powerful last words. beautiful piece
interesting thought - we're too busy destroying each other, and not letting nature destroy what needs to be destroyed? is that what you are saying?
yep - we shouldn't hold on to ruins...good write gautami..powerful
we do not really live if we remain focused on the past. a wonderful take on the prompt!
Excellent and powerfully worded. I am sharing this :)
We need to demolish ghosts of past that hound, Let palaces be in tact.
Powerful write.
You have created lovely and powerful imagery here and I could relate to your words a lot... the ending was perfect...
